Ice Tears From the Sky for Newtown

 A strange weather phenomenon this morning has coated our whole house and all the plants around it with a thick layer of ice.

On the pergola it looks like permanent tears.

 

 When I walked on the grass it crackled and broke.



 Ice is thick on the apple branches.



The tall grasses that normally blow in the breeze outside our dining room are bowed and frozen.



 I can't even remember or identify what plant this is. But frozen it makes a Seussian shape.
