With only a few more days until Christmas and another winter storm hitting the northeast coast,  we’ve only had a sprinkling of snow.   I’m no fan of winter, but man, it’s just not Christmas without it.

While we haven’t had much snow fall from the sky, we’ve had a plenty from the lake.

It’s neat how the spray from the waves crashing against the shore turns to ice snow on it’s way down… forming snow dunes on the lakes edge.

And if you live on the East Coast, you’re likely to be hit by this season’s first winter storm.  No snow here yet, but the sky is changing quickly as we go from a sunny day to the right and a stormy day to the left.   Captured this cool shot while waiting for the school bus…

I loe the way the sun lights up the trees and the big farm house across the street with a foreboding sky creeping upon us from behind.

Like most Decembers, we’re busy preparing for the holidays and as usual… everyone is sick.   When I looked outside today, I just had to stop and pause…

Across the street…

A couple of weeks can make! The weather is crazy this winter. Here’s a picture I took in the backyard just before the holidays…

That was just a couple of weeks ago after getting hit with 15″ of snow in one day.

Can you see the mounds of snow built up from the waves pushing into shore? If you click on the image, you can view the original picture on Flickr.

I love the way the snow forms little islands on the water. If only we had penguins!

Today it’s 15c (or 59F) and sunny… Feels like spring and it’s mid-January!
