First Day of Winter

We got more snow Thursday, and the result is that everything has this beautiful cover of fresh white snow again! I love this picture - it amazes me how much softer everything looks with a blanket of snow. Here's a shot of the same thing, with less snow. I'm leaving this weekend for warmer weather (only 10 degrees warmer, but 40 degrees is way better than 30!), so everyone cross your fingers that the winter weather doesn't strike again while I'm trying to fly back next weekend!!!
