There's nothing more nice-icle than stumbling upon pretty icicles.
Sheppey mum-of-two Krystal Pearce did even better when, driving along the back lanes of Eastchurch, she turned a corner and discovered this stunning icicle hedge near the Dickens Inn.
Krystal Pearce captured footage of these icicles in Eastchurch
She said: "It was like finding the Island's very own entrance to Narnia. It was like a winter wonderland.
"It was lovely to see. It was only because cars have been splashing it with water as they drove past and the water froze. It looked crystalised. It looked gorgeous. I felt like I was in a totally different world of peace."
She added: "I had my children in the car with me. They spotted it first and for the first time in a year they had smiles on their faces.
"The past 12 months have been really hard. We have lost a lot of family members to Covid. My step-dad and his two sons passed away within a month or two of each other.
"My son Ellis was mesmerised when he saw the wall of icicles. It really calmed him. My daughter Shayley felt the same. This was the most amazing thing I’ve seen in my life. The pictures don't do it justice. It was one amazing peaceful thing."
She was not the only one to find an icicle hedge.
Michelle Schermuly found several along the A28 between High Halden and Bethersden. She said: "One was so impressive I had to stop and have a good look. It's amazing what a huge puddle and a bit of freezing weather can produce. It was beautiful."
Wayne Browning also found a spectacular ice hedge while driving near Tonbridge, while another was spotted by Rhia Wildish in Stickfast Lane, Iwade, near Sittingbourne.
Sometimes you just happen to be in the right place at the right time. That's what happened to Joanna Araujo when she took a stunning shot of the sun setting behind the Sheppey Crossing, set off with a dusting of snow.
She said: "My husband owns RJA Electrical Services. During bad weather we always pair up and go on emergency calls together in case anything happens. We were on our way back from Sittingbourne, helping someone who had lost power and had no heating or hot water, when I saw this.
"As we drove along the old road I just had to stop and take a picture when I saw the sun setting. Luckily, I always keep my Nikon D500 digital camera nearby."
Others like holiday park boss Henry Cooper took to the air by launching his drone over The Glen at Minster, on Sheppey and getting photos of Islanders having fun in the snow.
He said: "It was weird. They all looked like ants!"
