Weather report from Snowstorm Region

Let it snow

Last week, we had snow in almost every state, and it seems like everyone on the internet, even blog friends in the south, were posting pictures of snow. I felt like I should start taking photos of something other than the winter landscape outside my own window. After all, there's nothing particularly exciting or newsworthy about snow in this part of the country. It's the norm.

But I can't resist posting a photo anyhow.

For the record, it's not actually snowing in this photo. As you can see from the shadows, the sun is shining. About a foot of snow had fallen overnight, some of it clinging to branches. The first wind of the day is blowing snow off the branches and swirling it about my backyard.
