Here is some icicles on the front of my apartment building. The one on the left must be close to 3 feet/a meter long. My mouth dropped open when I saw it. Some of the others are more than half as long. It doesn't say much for the gutter's condition, but it sure is pretty.

This was the 13th day of temperatures below freezing in northeast Ohio. They are expected to last at least another week.The harsh winds has blown the snow into drifts and left the grass poking through in other places. The snow went "scrunch, scrunch, scrunch" when I walked on it. I like that noise, but could do with a bit more warmth.
