Frosty Morning
Posted on 11. Dec, 2008 by Mrs. Mecomber in blogging
I drove out to the country this morning. We have managed to maintain our mere 1/2 inch of snow over the weekend, but everything went back to brown and muddy after Tuesday’s (relatively) warm rains. But today, as I chugged up into the higher hills, wispy swirls of snow greeted me. It was pretty.
The trees were a beautiful sight. The ones on the tops of the hills were all frosty, as if they’d been dipped in sparkling sugar and plugged back into the frozen ground. Click on the photos for a larger view.
And so now (tonight) we’re getting heavy snow. They’re calling for about 4-7 inches, a mere dusting for this lassie (I’m from Cayuga/Onondaga County, where a storm isn’t a storm unless it’s 2 feet or more). We’ll be waking up to a beautifully-covered landscape. I intend on cooking an all-day pot roast, making breads, a pie, and finally getting to that laundry pile. But it’s been a long day for me today, and so I bid you “good night.”

Great photos, especially love the first photo. There’s just something special about a tree lined country road that I love

A Wonderful Winter Wonderland! Being from New England, I can really place myself into that top photo and recall walks in similar surroundings. I can almost feel Jack Frost nipping at my nose!
I’ve lived in Florida and Georgia since 1975 and I rarely see this sight anymore!

Your photos are really beautiful. I hope you have a lot of firewood to help you stay warm and create a cozy atmosphere.

Thanks for the comments! I do know of a lot of NY and New England “migrants” who miss these snowy scenes.
Rich, I have no firewood.
Alack, I have no fireplace or woodstove.
Maybe someday, when I’ve renovated this old place…
