What the weatherwoman said: High over the Georgia Piedmont, warm, moist air came up from the Gulf and collided with the cold front coming in from the Rockies. Temperatures on the ground were much lower — around 20 degrees. The water was warm when it started falling but was ice by the time it hit.
What it looked like:
• The trees, coated, were bright.
• Icicles hung from the roofs of the birdfeeders, which were as crowded as a diner. The birds looked as if they were poking their heads through the bars of a jail.
• The canvas cover over the woodpile was once as soft as a blanket. When I fetched firewood, it was like lifting the hood of a car.
