Weather Elements: ICE STORMS: HAZARDOUS BEAUTY ast night, a thin wedge of a major winter storm crawled across the county. For ten hours the rains fell, but these were not ordinary rains, for when they struck, the water began to freeze. By morning, the freezing rain had deposited several centimetres of clear ice on all exposed surfaces. The in its aftermath, the skies. When dawn broke, the first rays of the sun struck the tops of the leaf-less maples along the ridge to the west, shining back in a dazzling light. As the sun rose further, its brilliance reflected and refracted off ever more of the crystal garden which covered the countryside. Barbed wire fences sparkled like diamond necklaces. Weeds rising from the snow resembled the stems of crystal goblets. Rough wood shone while gentle breezes played branches like wind chimes; stronger gusts breaking long ice chains, sending them tinkling and crashing as they hit the ground.
