Buuurrrrrrrrrrr

So I woke up to a commotion late today. Apparently some of the "foreign" workers were having lunch in the park on Eastern Lake. I couldn't figure out why they were so excited until I looked at the canal and realized that the ice flow was moving past. Apparently the entire thing froze over night and was slowly breaking up. I'm sure it'll do it again tonight so I'll get pictures this time. I'd love to have a picture of myself standing in the middle of the canal on frozen water. That'd throw the tourists for a serious loop.[/quote

Hope you get that shot. I've got some great ones from 1989 when Tresca Lake froze over and there was ice on Eastern, too. Stand out on your dock. Perhaps you can get the ice around you.

A sizable portion of Mallett Bayou was frozen over this morning. Nowhere near thick enough to walk on, but a sight to see all the same. My neighbor tossed out a fishing lure and it just skipped across the top without breaking through. It resulted in a bit of a fishkill also. It almost looked like a red tide had come in.

I turned on my hose with the nozzle on mist. It left quite the ice formation.

Very cool shot. But I'm most impressed with that gorgeous magnolia tree!!

Yep, it is still there. Hardly melted all day. Scube suggested using the mister like an air brush. We'll see what happens.

Along with other escaped or released exotics, iguanas have thrived in south Florida. Last time I was in Miami, I saw some huge ones. This from a news story about the cold weather:

"Freeze warnings covered nearly all of Florida with temperatures expected to drop into the 20s overnight. Freezing iguanas were seen falling out of trees in Florida; experts say the cold-blooded reptiles become immobilized when the temperature falls into the 40s and they lose their grip on the tree."

I guess if you have a use for them, or a taste for them, this makes catching them easy.

I read that, too, this morning. Iguanas falling out of trees.
We saw lots of iguanas on Boca Grande when we traveled there a few years ago, some quite large. I can't imagine living where iguanas are running loose. But I'd prefer that to living where it drops to 50 below!!

Jim Cantore was here in Memphis today due to the weather, why, because we have had 3 weather related deaths.
