Winter wonderland

One of the biggest pluses of living in a place that experiences 4 distinct seasons is the snowfall that signifies winter is here. I like driving in it and I love how it blankets the countryside hiding any imprerfections.

A freak snowstorm in October was followed by a prolonged period of dry weather and, just as thoughts of climate change were entering people's minds, a deluge of historic proportions has followed.

The snowplows had a fine time clearing the roads and parking lots and the piled up snow is everywhere.

Even the rivers have frozen over.  Here's the scenic Elkhorn River in all its beauty.
