The sun came out and the temperatures soared into 30s! Snow started melting and the
dripping water, combined with the not too much above freezing temps, created some spectacularly, shimmering icicles.

We're expecting to see 40F degree weather before the
next cold snap arrives.

So it was time to hustle and get some snaps of these dramatic, eave-hanging pieces
of ice before they all melted away.

    Jack Frost looks as though he's paid a visit, lol. Lovely pics to look at while I sit here in barely nothing because of the heat. In winter we get black ice on the roads and pavement, but we don't get beautiful icicles.

      The heat will eventually return, but for now we're basking in the snow!
