December 19-22, 2008 Ice

The drive into work today was interesting. During the night it warmed up from 18 degrees to 29 degrees and started sleeting and then raining. Everything is pretty well covered with ice. The main roads were covered with ice/sleet rubble. Where you could see pavement it was wet ice. The wipers on the car froze into a chunk that created interesting patterns on the windshield. When I got to Fort Wayne the city streets had 6-8” slushy water in all low spots since the storm drains were clogged with ice. Sidewalks have about ¾ “ of rough slippery ice covering them. The trees covered with ice are pretty.

On campus some of our mature trees are ruined.
The weekend turned out to be really cold so none of the ice melted. On monday the sun came out so it provided a pretty scene with all of the trees covered with ice and the sun shining through them.
