Even though snow can work hardship for people, especially where they get a lot of it, it is still such a beautiful thing when it covers the landscape with a white blanket. The snow got a lot deeper than this. It snowed again last night and we got about five more inches. So we ended up with at least 15 inches on the ground. It is beginning to melt now and will for several hours before the temperature dips way down again.

I didn't really want the small tree in the foreground to be in the center of the picture. But we are confined to the house because the snow is so deep in the yard. I shot this from our front porch toward the neighbors'. So the tree is where it is! :)
