Wind Against Current 
A fairy land of snow.

That’s exactly the way it looked! :-)

Looks beautiful now, but I’m a bit concerned about tomorrow’s dire forecast of MORE snow and a potential ice storm where we are now, about 35 mi NW of Central Park! Already a most impressive winter! M

It has certainly been an impressive winter—the snow storms have followed each other in quick succession. And it’s by no means over yet—the groundhog said so!
The ice forecast for tomorrow is definitely worrying if you have to commute. Since I don’t (I walk to work), I must confess I am, selfishly, quite looking forward to it. It might be very pretty when the sun comes out again… :-)

Fabulous!!!! Since I can’t be there, I’m glad you are!!! I love seeing this!

Wonderful pictures! This latest snow storm made everything especially beautiful. Yes, a winter wonderland!
My kids are counting on no school tomorrow but I told them that they had to do their homework anyway. :)

Winter wonderland indeed. When the sun came out for a few hours this morning, the snow was almost too dazzling to look at… :-)
But after they’ve done their homework, they can go and play in the snow?

I got the call an hour ago – no school tomorrow! So yes, they are finished with their homework but I kind of doubt they will want to play in freezing rain tomorrow. Hmmm.

On that first picture, I thought it was a painting! Nice shot.

It’s too cold to stand out there and paint. That’s why I took up photography—it’s much faster ;-)

Another look at this post, reveled more of the remarkable squirrel image…. super sharp to begin with, but the red berries for color, and especially the critter’s left hand grasping the branch. Beautiful! M

Yes, and the groundhog said six more weeks of winter…

The ground hog was found frozen in his burrow here. :)

I wonder what the interpretation of that is…
Here he just bit the mayor, and the mayor dropped him (different mayors in different years) :-)

I saw that photo. So hilarious. I can send you some heated boots for kayaking :)
LikeLike
Thanks! But actually we don’t need heated boots for the actual kayaking. It’s very warm inside the boat. It’s getting out that is the problem. That’s why we never get out…

There must be temperatures/conditions at which even kayaking is not fun. :) Enjoy the white blanket.

Well, we tend not to go kayaking when the water is completely frozen… although there are some who do go kayaking even then:

Of course Red Bull would be in the mix. :)

A beautiful series. I love them all, but my favorite is the trees with their yellow leaves glowing through the snow.

There are still a few trees, but very few, with some leaves left… :-)

The snow deadens all noise… It was very quiet and peaceful in the park—if you don’t count the kids shrieking while sliding down the hill ;-)

Gosh, these are so beautiful! I long for snow although I know I hate it after a while. I love NZ, but hanker after a “proper” winter.
