[February 19, 2014]      

As the temperatures warmed up today, it seemed that some of us, including Mother Nature, are developing a sense of humor about the massive piles of snow and the generous coating of ice from Monday.

Here are some shots we've received today.

Pictures by various photographers

The iceman cometh! Do you see the man in this massive icicle? LDN's Karen Hargis said she was tipped off that she needed to take a picture of this fella standing at the end of one of the passenger cars at the old Depot Restaurant. Maybe he is a ghost conductor.

Everything goes better with Coke?  Even snow? Vic Martinek grabbed this shot and sent it to us Tuesday morning.  The handiwork is that of Pastor Mark Thompson and family. What's most impressive is the accuracy of the colors, especially for the cola!

 

 Lee Schall submitted this photo from the lake house near Broadwell. It seems that snow cylinders were spotted in several areas of Logan County. Lee also had snowballs, though! We wonder if Mother Nature is getting ready to pick a fight!

After the freezing rain came another coating of snow Monday. The result was a lovely "flocking" on trees that only Mother Nature could spread so evenly.

 

Desperate times call for desperate measures! With the food on the ground covered with snow and ice, this little guy tries acrobatics to get to the birdseed hanging in the tree.

Mother Nature makes her own crystal chandeliers.
