Yesterdays rain & sun turned back to rain, then snow overnight as the temperature cooled – but even though it’s stayed below freezing today, the sun still shone strongly, melting the snow off the car – but the water froze again as it dripped off the bumper, forming icicles between the car and the ground!

Rain, Sun
Above freezing all day – so this mornings heavy rain storm was rain, and happily not 4″+ of snow (which happened further north):

By this afternoon though, the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining in a mostly blue sky 🙂

High and dry ice
High tides (when the moon was full) in the cold weather leaves ice layers where the Essex river overflows; now at lower tides the ice is left to slowly melt …
