icicles

daytime temperatures have been in the low 40's and it's been getting down below freezing at night---last night we dropped to 19 degrees F.  so the snow has been melting during the day and then refreezing at night.  it's made some impressive icicles (aka icy death from above).

the longest was nearly 18"

i'm grateful for our warm house---don't know how the deer and other critters survive the freezing nights.  i'm also grateful for warm delicious food to eat (and staal's cooking talents)...

tonight's special:  the staal mushroom and onion burger
