The ice storm: epilogue

so our department secretary informed me today that in fact ice storms are pretty rare and the kind we got doesn't happen that often. This is kind of a bummer. Being a winter virgin i just assumed the awesome glassy glaze over the trees would be around for the whole winter, but alas i went outside today to see just plane old bark. boo!! So yeah usually after ice storms all the ice melts off so by the morning you can't see the awesomness. But because it was so cold teh ice stayed frozen for 3 days, a pretty long time for that to happen, and when the sun hit it it created the awesome crystal effect. So now 4 days later the ice is all gone and all i can think is, "damnit why didn't i take more pictures?!" life is full of coulda shoulda woulda's, and we might not get a storm like this one for another few years so people i tell you, seize the day and all that crap. I wish i was a photographer and had a digital SLR camera. someday...someday
