Sometime earlier that morning a water main had broken on this corner and shot water high into the air. The temps were below freezing and there was a canyon wind blowing causing the water to form incredible icicles all over the trees and the side of the building.
The spraying water produced feathery icicles all over the bare trees. But the unusual thing about them was that the added effect of the wind made these icicles form perpendicular to the branches. They were clear and brilliant. And heavy. The poor tree branches were hanging nearly to the ground.
I spent about fifteen minutes shooting before my fingers had also turned to icicles. Man, it was cold!
Kara, I thought about you all day and wondered if this is what your ice storms look like. And Mom, thanks for the tip!

Awesome pictures! It looks way to cold for me.
I thought that was the coolest thing ever! They had it on the news....
The Channel 5 guy was right next to me taking video. My Mom and nephew swear that I was on there but the video that is posted on their website didn't have it. Oh well, fame is fleeting.
There are some aspects of Utah winters I miss and your photographs captured the beauty of them...I prefer however to appreciate the beauty from a warm 65 degree climate....
As a BBV alum, I enjoy that this is a Hollywood that nature decided to destroy. Blue and Gold forever!
Those are much prettier than the ice we get! Beautiful photos!
