Thanks to ABC 33/40 Skywatcher Vic Bell for these images… he writes:
“I just got back from Cherokee Rock Village…elev. 1500′….overlooking Leesburg and Weiss Lake….roads were getting icy and gravel turnouts, grass, etc were difficult to stand up on due to ice…wind howling about 30 mph…I couldn’t get out to the vantage point I wanted because it was too slippery. These pics don’t really show the ice on trees because the wind was blowing so hard it was keeping drips and icicles from forming. I would have liked to stay longer, but drive a light, high profile SUV with rear wheel drive, so figured I’d better scoot before that heavier band of precip moved in….fishtailed a couple of times coming back down the mountain.”
