This week in Baltimore there is just a slight hint of fall in the air. A little nip in the mornings and evenings that reminds us that summer is about to come to an end.
Being an autumn baby I love this time of year. The cooler weather and the golden light are right up my alley. Of course fall is just the gateway to the long often monotonous winter months. For my money they only thing that makes winter worth it is what I call “interesting weather.” Interesting weather can be anything from dense fog, to snow, to ice.
To get you all in the mood for the cold months (or to remind you to REALLY enjoy this last unofficial weekend of summer) I thought I’d share some icicle pictures from several years ago. It was January 2004 and we had just had a pretty hefty snowstorm. As the snow melted, but the evening temperatures kept dropping back down, we got some really awesome and evil looking stalactite like ice spikes.

Man, I almost choked! “No way is that happening in Baltimore already!”
That will teach me to go straight for the pictures before reading.
Great pics! It’s amazing the wires didn’t get pulled down.
Nope not happening quite yet…he he. Apologies for taking so long to post your comment dogimo…was asleep at the wheel this weekend.
Yeah I was sure the lines would give under all that weight but they held. They looked a mite saggy after that however.
Hoping for some interesting weather this long boring winter. My fingers are crossed and my camera is ready. 🙂
