http://daryld.com/gallery/main.php http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-1.jpg.html 134 Let's start our journey... right in my front yard! Here's the hedge shrub at the end of the driveway. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-2.jpg.html 137 Heading around the back of my house you see the individual blades of grass preserved in ice. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-3.jpg.html 139 Heading around front again you come across this tree which really shows how every branch was coated during the storm. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-4.jpg.html 141 This photo doesn't do justice to the fact that it took me almost 20 minutes to open my driver's side door! http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-5.jpg.html 143 I hopped in my car and drove to Cobbs Hill. Again, showing every inch of preservation is this photo of a pine tree. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-6.jpg.html 145 This is a shot up the same tree as the previous photograph. I just can't believe all the ice on each pine needle. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-7.jpg.html 147 The icicles hanging off this picnic bench are about 18 inches long and are slanted from the wind. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-8.jpg.html 149 Showing the same idea, here are some bleachers simply covered in icicles. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-10.jpg.html 151 After leaving Cobbs Hill I decided to drive around for a little while and saw this great example of how it didn't matter which way the signs were facing as they all got iced. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-11.jpg.html 153 I then headed over to the Eastman Theater and Sibley Library area. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-12.jpg.html 155 This is a shot of the park benches right under the tree in the previous photo. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-13.jpg.html 157 This is Gibbs St. and the area surrounding Eastman Theater. Of course, nobody is around! http://daryld.com/gallery/v/rochester-ice-storm/RochesterIceStorm2003-14.jpg.html 159 And now for the piece de resistance; a closeup photo of the berries on the bushes at Eastman Place showing how much ice was on each branch.
