Madi: You will not believe this.....

Frankly I'm astounded. I cannot believe my eyes
Mom and I wanted to share it. You
will be amazed when you see the pictures below me....

So Mom has been telling everyone it is COLD in Dixie...
Tank played his teeny tiny violin for us...
We don't have snow but it is so dang cold for NC.
The water fountain in front of WRAL-TV studios
froze while in motion. If you look closely, you'll see
water still shooting out of the top. They said the last time it was cold enough to
freeze the fountain in motion was 1994.....We just don't have this kind of cold weather.
If the weather guys are right, it sounds like we might have snow Thursday night.

Below is another fountain in the Gardens at WRAL it too froze in motion.

This is one monster icicle

  5. Hi Madi

    I never saw a fountain frozen before, up north here they turn the fountains off in the winter.

    Those are some cool pictures, I think they should let the fountain on here to freeze because it looks pretty.

  6. Yeah, still playing that violin for you Madi.. but I think we're getting used to the frigid temps. We took a pretty long walk yesterday while it was about 8 degrees and it didn't really bother us much. You get used to it.

    Very interesting photos of the fountains!

  12. Wow Madi!

    What beautiful fountains. The best sculpture'ers in the world couldn't make anything that pretty. Be sure to keep those in your memory bank.

    Luv,

  13. Phew, it was so great to see you on the warm carpet indoors knowing there are scary icicles outside. Stay where you are!
    Sounds like your mom is a horse person too, by your comment. Too bad we live so far away. I'd love to invite you both to the barn. She could enjoy the horses and you could have a ball with the barn mice. Oh, you asked about Linguini's name. Funny. Her name was originally Daisy, but as we got to know her, we found out she moves like a wet noodle, aka Linguini. BOL
    Stay warm, kk?
    Twink!

  15. Wow, I have never seen a fountain frozen like that before. It is really pretty but it also looks very cold. The weather guys say we have snow coming in tonight but it's not cold enough to do that.

    Miss Cindi says to stay warm.

    Hugs and purrs,

  17. I did know that it was cold for you all down in your neck of the woods, the weather map isn't being nice to the vacationers that headed to the south to get the warm weather. The photos of the fountains are pretty, I know they aren't to be that way but it is beautiful. Hope it warms up soon for you all cause no fun to live in the cold if you are not used to it. Actually the mom here says that it isn't fun to live in the cold even if you are used to it.

  21. Hi Madi, cool pics! It looks like you could be in Scotland.
    We are having great fun in the cold. Of course the humans are having to dig their cars out and clear paths and moan about taking hours to get to work - we like it!
    We will keep our paws crossed for snow - you will have such fun.
    love
