Wind storm, ice and powerline, oh my!


Sitting in a snow storm waiting for the utility company to repair a powerline might make you see funny things like this.



Work has been pretty exhausting lately. Lots to do, lots to do. Didn't help the weather turned insane earlier today. It was near 60 when I went out in the middle of the day. The next thing I know I go to leave and it's near single digits with gushing winds.

A powerline was called down west of town and I headed out to get photos of either firefighter moving it or utility men repairing. it

Unfortunately I couldn't sit around long enough for the utility men, but I did get a photo of it catching the grass on fire. Kind of crazy to see a fire sparking the ground and catching about a 5 foot wide area ablaze.

I probably sat there for about 10 minutes until I got bored and started shooting random pictures. This one was my favorite.
