A photographic look at life in Jackson, Mississippi and the surrounding area
Icy Bug
The Halcyon Bug got a few icicles during the ice storm Sunday night. This is how my car looked on Monday morning. I know those of you up north are probably laughing, but these are big icicles for the south!
Don't feel bad. Years ago when I lived in Canada I had a security job just a few blocks from Niagara Falls. I worked 13 hr nights. At the end of my first shift, I went out to find my car completely encased in a good, solid inch of ice. Yes, I had a scraper--in the TRUNK. Needless to say, I didn't make that mistake again, although the scraper wasn't terribly helpful. I ended up bringing a hammer with me & had to chip away the ice with the claw end. Took almost an hour every day just to get into my car. I don't miss that AT ALL!
(BTW, as far as the humping giraffes go, yes the women leaving the paddock were a clearly panicked mass. It was so silly.)
You won't get so iced in in T.O.--don't worry. It was the mist of the Falls that coated my car for 13 hrs straight. Pop me an e-mail, though. I spent a year in T.O. (& still have friends there.) Do you know where you're moving yet?

Ice is ice, north or south, and ice storms are no fun anywhere! great shot!
Looking at that, here it feels like spring!
I don't know about the folks up north but some of us down south are laughing! What are you doing with icicles in Mississippi?
How i long for such a sight, such temperature, such winter delight.
A great picture indeed. Please have you all a good Wednesday.

I didn't even know it snowed in the south! So I'm impressed ;-D
Well, to quote another blogger on a different site, "It's a start!"
I'm surprised it gets that cold in Mississippi! I have a LOT to learn. :)
