Jan. 19, 2008~ The glories of Slush!! ~ |
We live in a valley. Weather systems blow in off of the ocean dropping all of their precipitation on us before hitting the mountains. Because of this we get an unusual type of weather called 'slushing'. At least thats what I call it. The weather man would call it 'snow mixed with rain'. It's not good for playing in because you get soaked and it makes everything slippery. But, it does make everything look pretty, giving the illusion of snow. We're having some today as a matter of fact, but I took these pictures during our last 'slushfall'. I had to venture out on our very 'slippery-when-wet' wooden deck to take them. I was so intrigued by the pattern that the slush had made on our walk way.
...and here is a close up
I think that the temperature was hovering around the freezing point and ice was beginning to form.
And here's a close up of slush:
Thanks for stopping by and enjoying my slushy post!!

Good old slush *grin* we get a ton of it to :) It looks so neat in the water though.
Blessings,
