Nature's Decorations

The holiday season is long gone, yet last week, I found that Mother Nature had done some tree decorating. There's a path along the Nashua River that we often walk along.
These trees are alongside another mill apt building directly across from our own. Waterhad drained down on warmer days, but then the temps plunged into the single digits and teens for a couple of days. 
It must have been a fairly heavy water stream as even these bare branches were thickly coated in ice. 
These decos were short-lived, but still nice to see and gone by the end of last week.

Nasty weather is expected in many parts of the U.S. (Midwest and lower Great Lakes) over the next 24-36 hours, including snow. Here in Nashua, NH, our weather event is expected to be in the form of heavy rains as the temps will remain above freezing. However, there is the possibility of some heavy wet snow in northern New England before the storm ends.

Hope that no matter what winter weather is in your area, that you will be safely indoors.

Pretty ice formations! We have enjoyed several days of milder temps here on the coast of Maine. I am going to run errands today since tomorrow we expect a wintry mix.💖

As is often the case Nature easily outdoes human attempts at decoration. I only wish that Nature could be so artistically pleasing with the vast amounts of mud which she has bestowed on this locality at present!

The icicles look incredible. So far we've avoided any snow here in this part of England but it is turning colder.

Very happy that all of our icicles are gone for now!

Love seeing those beautiful icicles there. Makes it look like natural Christmas decorations, a bit late in the season.

It's fortunate that you were able to get photos of this fascinating display of nature. At first glance, they really look like decorated Christmas trees.

It's raining (as usual) here in TN, but temperatures are dropping and snow is expected on Thursday night.

Wow, I have never seen anything like that! Our winter has been so unusual this year...hard to keep up with the ups and downs in temps. Today was cloudy, a bit foggy, in the upper 40's, yesterday was in the low 60's, tomorrow will be very windy and in the 30's! Just crazy.

The ice formations were such a delight to see, beautiful. Hopefully the snow predicted will not be too bad, stay warm.

It looks so chilly and like January in your photos. I am hoping for a nice arrival of spring this month. But I also guess mother nature will make that decision. Happy March.Hugs-Erika

Ice formations are so pretty, especially when the sun shines through them and makes them sparkle.

Beautiful patterns in the ice.
