<\/center>After receiving a tip about icy tree branches from my pastor I decided to venture out briefly on Sunday. Normally I stay within the city limits on deer opener, but I figured the outskirts might be slightly less dangerous due to weather. I don’t feel like either catching a stray bullet or being mistaken for wildlife and shot by some overzealous idiot with an opening-weekend trigger finger. Thankfully the deer and hunters were hunkered down by the ice, snow, and wind, giving us crazy photographers a little room.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/icy_glove_23730.jpg\")
<\/center>As I cruised down a road east of Lincoln I spotted something that would otherwise be unremarkable in rural North Dakota: a glove (mitten, actually) atop a fence post.

<\/center>As you can see, everything out there was iced up pretty well; the mitten, the fence post, and even the barbed wire all have a thick coat of ice on their east side. This is the same ice that made driving so treacherous over the weekend, especially with a bed of fresh snow over the top of it.<\/p>\nAnyway, if you are missing a mitten, email me. I’ll let you know where to find it. Some chiseling and thawing may be required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
