Ice Storm Encases Tree Foliage in Ice in Oxford, Mississippi

In the wake of an ice storm, even the tiniest details can appear remarkably distinct. The filmmaker captured the scene in Oxford, Mississippi, after the January 2026 ice event. In a close-up shot, he showcases leaves enveloped in transparent ice. As the leaves move in his grip, the ice splinters and crumbles into thin shards, creating a sharp cracking noise. This simple motion transforms storm-related destruction into a fleeting, sensory experience.
