[the Ferret]

OK another cold ride today..only 50 miles, but I went and searched for some pic opportunities which may entertain our warm weather friends. Took the scooter today. No electrics. It was quite nippy

Icy waterfalls..water seeping from the steep hillside down to a creek freezes creating these ice waterfalls

This tributary is close to and empties into the Ohio river. It freezes at a certain level close to the shore, the level in the river drops, taking water with it from the creek, leaving the ice high and dry

A culvert that runs under the road from the high side to the low side for water drainage, by end of Feb this will be a huge ice flow and mountain of ice on the hillside
