In the spirit of the recent smattering of snow in London, I was going to tell you all about the great North American ice storm of 1998 and include some interesting facts about snow and ice. Like the difference between glaze ice and rime ice, the fact that a typical ice storm  is 50 km wide and 500 km long and a whole host of other things to pique your curiosity.

Then, while searching Flickr for Creative Commons images of ice storms for the post, I found what may be the best photo pool ever. As luck would have it, though not really relevant to my original intention, the photos are tagged ‘Ice Storm’.

You can view Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos’s brilliant ‘ice storm’ photos here. Based on the notes, they are circa 1994.
