We have snow here on our Kentucky farm, we've had snow for three days now and it is continuing to fall. Nothing compared to the accumulation that you have but enough to slow us down.
We heat with wood so we are busy keeping the fire stoked, I helped Fred patina four portrait frames this morning and have been running back and forth to the studio applying the finishing touches to three portrait commissions...my studio is separate from the house so we have to stomp off the snow.

Stay cozy,

Joy Thomas

This winter has been relatively cold for longer periods. We had ice glazing for a couple of days and a little snow now and then.
Very nice to look at.
I have a rose that is totally out of wack with the season, it refuses to let go..... that

That's a wonderful rose, Allan. Thanks for sharing those chilly pictures. I think your winter has been generally colder than ours. We have had the warmest January in American history, and now it is suddenly winter for real.

You're an inspired photographer. I like the affinity between the red wash on your stucco and the red rose, all framed in frost. Take care of that rose!

Garth

But last year we had winter. Exactly today, a year ago, we had a snowstorm that grounded us for days. I am sure of the day because we were invited to my nephews birthday and did not show up. We will tomorrow.
There were also the problem of digging the vehicle out from the snow.

Beautiful rose Allan. Nature just never stops giving us all these wonderful images. It's boring here, grey skies and a dusting of snow left. I wish that snow would have come here, I love it when Mother nature takes over and lets everyone know who the real boss is.

Wow, what beautiful snow photos you guys. I really miss that white stuff (except I never did like having to drive in it).
Phoenix is great this time of year - today I tilled my garden and planted my tomatoes - but before you grow envious and make plans to move here, know that the other three seasons of triple digits get to be a real bore. I much prefer a seasonal change of colorful springs, warm summers, colorful falls, and white winters. One reason we are seriously considering moving back up to Boise after having lived only 7 years here.
