Photos of the Week: Ice Storm

January in central Canada has brought us ice.  It’s both beautiful and awful.

Freezing rain happens when rain falls through a layer of air at or below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit).  It freezes on contact with any surface.  The result is damage to trees, power outages and car accidents.

Recently, we had freezing rain with a little snow on top. 

It was miserable, and very pretty.  Nature has a funny way of showing us a bright side.
