Extreme Weather

   This was one of those days when life comes to a grinding halt. Covered with 5 inches of snow I was sitting in a snow globe.

I couldn't help but wander around outside to document the amazing scenes .

Both directions, north and south, were a blur of winter white.

Foliage was covered, etching the edges with furry frost.

Some fuzzy friends felt the extreme weather cooled their heated battles.

My gnome Walter was put out as he endured the presence of a suspicious orange pumpkin.

The sobering fact is that it is just January and it ain't over yet.

Ah, winter, you've done us in already.
