Thanks. I thought about making this black and white, but I liked the color version better. What you see here is actually a color image, believe it or not. The effect is like a black and white toned image. By the way, those mounds are probably 90% sleet. To be sure, there is some snow. We had snow "flakes" up to two inches across for a brief period. Of course, after it snowed, there was freezing rain, so there is essentially nothing pictured that has much of a snow quality left, except to look at. -- Victor
