well, not exactly “frightful,” but it’s certain not pleasant out there.

The freezing rain, while not precisely an hospitable milieu for photography, sure as shootin’ makes for some nice image opportunities.

I was soaked to the skin after coming back inside, but quite pleased with how some of these came out.

The pavement is incredibly slippery, though; it’s a skating rink on the driveway.

I was going to run around noon and swim tonight, but unless things thaw very soon, it’s going to be a swim-only today. It’s just not safe out there right now.

Attractive and appealing, but unpleasant to endure. That almost sums up Friday perfectly….
