After the ice storm of 2008


Listen to ice bits raining down from trees like bullets

It's hard to see the ice in the video. But you can hear it. A wedge of nearly 60-degree warm air swept through just before noon on strong wind, melting everything at once. Just then, the power went out and stayed out for four hours. Of course the sump turned off and the basement filled with water. There'll be a lot of mopping in the offices of Maine Owl. Yea! Now it looks like it's going back down to zero by tomorrow night. This is freakin' crazy!

Very nice - I was in a pine & hardwood forest yesterday when a brief warm front went by. It was quite something to watch. There's quite a lot of ice left (so. Maine) as the warm front went by late in the afternoon, so there might be a repeat of this Sunday or Monday.
