Nature More snow

More snow · 11:26 AM

We have a weird storm. It started as snow/sleet, went to rain, then sleet again, then snow. It was a mess. Very heavy stuff. However, since everything was wet, then freezing, the snow did some cool stuff to the trees. This is the road in and out of where I live. I slowed way down (barely moving slow, no one was behind me) and shot through the windshield.

Rough day here to Mel...

.. Like the way the image flows. JIM

Oh wow Jim. That's gorgeous. I want to be there. The snow in and of itself is fine. It was the two-day power outage taking our water with it (we're on a well and the pump is electric) and the fact that one of my sons was in surgery and needed a place with electricity and heat and water to recoup that threw a wrench in the whole experience.

Mel, my best to your young 'un - especially under such trying circumstances.

I dig the shot - reminds me of the winters we lived in Ohio.

Beautiful shot Mel. Best to your son and hope the everything returns to normal real fast for you and the rest of the people up north. It has been really rough on you guys.

Thanks all. Son is fine. It was outpatient surgery on a broken wrist with collosally bad timing. We put him in a hotel room and that got him through the worst of it. Everything is fine and somewhat normal. Except my fridge and freezer are considerably lighter now

. I really hate having to throw out food.

Good to hear mel.
Hope he recovers quickly and keeps your fridge cleaned out again.

Nice image too mel. Thanks for sharing.

Terrific photo... I love the way everything looks after a storm like that... problem is it usually causing all kinds of issues with trees falling on cars and houses, hydro towers and lines coming down... But, it definitely has a very special and ephemeral beauty.
