Wind Blown Icicles

It was a cold blustery morning.  The night before, a snow storm had pushed through the area, blanketing the ground with a carpet of pure white snow.

Having grown up on Long Beach Island, we decided to take a drive to the Island.  Heading north on LBI, towards Barnegat Light, we arrived at our destination near the Barnegat Inlet.

We were greeted with a wintry sight.  The icicles, a reminder of natures fury from the night before, was spread out before us.  The howling, wind blown snow, combined with waves splashing against the man made bulkhead, left in its wake, a sight to be seen . . .
I was thrilled to have my camera with me that day.  Snow and ice covered the ground around the bulkhead.  I remember having to be careful when getting out of the car as it was very icy underfoot.    The water of Barnegat Bay was a little bit choppy and it was a sunny day with only a few clouds in a mostly clear blue sky.

This icicle refrigerator magnet is vinyl laminated and flexible and is perfect to use on your refrigerator or other magnetic surfaces.  A wide variety of other products are available with the icicles theme.
