The Ice Storm Warning is ominous.

Ice accretions of 0.25 inch to 0.5 inch are expected.

Hazardous road conditions will exist during the morning commute.   

Ice accumulations will bring down trees and limbs.

Power outages are likely due to downed utility lines.

However, amid the chaos brought on by the storm, a natural beauty can be found.

Freezing raindrops hang from the branches and trees.

Glittering against a background of gray and overcast sky.

A reminder that in every situation, no matter how dire or depressing,

Something soothing to the soul can be found.
