ABC Wednesday: Z is for Zero
Zero degrees Celsius is when water freezes.
We have had sub-zero temperatures for the beginning of the New Year and as the sun has come out to raise the temperature above zero, icicles have formed on the eaves.
We are now into a very slight thaw and the icicles have, for the moment, disappeared. The temperature however is still hovering around zero and we may not have seen the last of the snow.

I have a feeling we had the same thought today...
ReplyDeleteZowie, that's really cold. Zero is too cold for me. I hope it warms up soon for you.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until it gets UP to zero Celsius. I did ZERO this week, BTW.
ReplyDeleteVery cold but beautiful icicles. We are cold here but not at zero...
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the only icicles I've seen in the Netherlands were attached to thatched roofs! In Germany I saw them everywhere though.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Such a great z! Brilliant! It is cold here too! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photography. Don't care much for that kind of cold but there are some beautiful things one wouldn't see otherwise.
ReplyDeleteWow! Nice icicles in those photos! Sub-zero temperatures can sure create some amazing scenes!
ReplyDeleteI feel a bit guilty that our weather here has been rather 'balmy' for this time of year. I think we were in the 40's today..
ReplyDeletebeautiful icicles!
Those are splendid icicles! We had a few, but nothing like those!
ReplyDeleteThis has been a common theme around the world lately--certainly it has been a cold winter everywhere it seems. We have had temperatures below zero, too--but on the Fahrenheit scale, which means it's been darned cold!
ReplyDeleteYou and I have the same title today, but different elements of the weather. Be careful of thawing icicles and roof damage!
