I like winter in general – snow, cold weather, and a fire in the fireplace. One thing I do HATE is the trend over the last few years of receiving ICE instead of snow…aka the freezing rain of terror that has been the theme of winter for the last couple years. We generally don’t get a ton of snow here, I think the average is supposed to be about 12″ but usually at least one good snow every winter seems about right, sometimes a couple. But the last few years have been disappointing in the snow category with little to no snow at all…nowhere even close to the “average”.
I was glad when the ice that started falling Monday afternoon eventually turned into a good steady snowfall. It only amounted to maybe 3″ but that was good enough because I had pretty much forgot what snow was like. So I went out and enjoyed it and took a few photos.
Here is one back at the creek. It was cool because pieces of ice and clumps of snow were slowing floating downstream. It was almost like you could see the river freezing over. It was cool. One of those things that a photo can’t accurately capture.
