Winter Storm

This is the look of our surroundings... 

(for you)

of the snowfall that accumulated here overnight. 

Come on along! :-)

What awesome beauty to behold awaits you. 

The snow seems to makes all things new.

It is a balmy 27 degrees outside (so don't be too terribly chilled on your journey.)

[We are supposed to get winds up to 40 mph (!) later today so 

I am most  happy and relieved :-) to capture the stillness and quiet beauty 

of the woods for you before the violent winds come... 

(which I will not be out in~ mind you!)]

:-) 

The captions for the photos are as follows:

Iced Tree

Ice

We are expecting an icy Monday. 

This is a sampling of what occurs here from two weeks 

before Christmas... 

(this was at about 4800 feet.)  The top two photos are 

recent and the others are a smattering of ice from previous winters...

Needless to say, I have a lot of ice shots. In fact, I have an "Ice and Fog" folder :-)

It gets icy here!!!

I am thinking that I will have more icy 'finger' pics (which I particularly love) 

for you before this winter relents!

I am not yet crying "Relent!" "Relent!" 

but I most assuredly will, I imagine. :-)

We 'have to' venture out on Monday. Often we wait for the salt/sand/plow

but I might not be able to. (The plow is my new BFF  currently.)  

As always, I will keep you posted as to our ice escapades...

(Stay warm and dry where you are.)
