On Wednesday, November 30, 2006 it rained all day and into the night. The temperature hovered around the mid 60s to 70 degree. On Thursday morning it was still warm but temperatures were starting to fall and it was still raining. About mid morning sleet was mixed in with the rain and by noon temps were around the freezing point and dropping quickly. By the end of the day the damage had been done and approximately 400,000 homes/businesses were without power. The weight of the ice was breaking tree branches all over the metro St. Louis area. The images below were taken on Friday, December 1, 2006 at around noon. I shot these at Lemay Park about two blocks from my home. While the scenery itself was beautiful, it was also deadly considering the damage that had been done..
