Tumbleweeds endure icy conditions

To say it was a bit cold Saturday morning on the plains would be an understatement and these ice-covered tumbleweeds provide evidence. A cold north wind had blown them across the lake onto the shore and the splashing waves had provided the moisture. Throw in temperatures to the low 20s and wind chill temperatures far below that and you can understand why it was pretty miserable at this spot that morning. Taken in Morgan County, Colorado.
