Seeing this makes me really want to paint some scenery backdrops again. Lovely image, thanks for putting it up.

Gorgeous and different; it really is Oz in some ways.

Gorgeous! I love being reminded that it's cold where you are right now, just as much as I love the reminder when it's summer for you. I am strangely thrilled by the difference in our seasons :)

It's warming up now. 20+C days and nights over 10.

This was last Feb for me :P All the trees are sagging because they have 2 inches of ice on them. The night of the storm was eerie. You could go outside and listen to the rain coming down and the sound of trees breaking and falling down was constant. I also saw power lines severed before my eyes by tree limbs, sending up showers of purple and blue sparks. A girl a couple blocks from me was killed when a tree fell on her as she walked her dog:( Was one of the worst ice storms in memory for this area.



But is still had quite a beautiful side to it as well, especially when the sun hit the trees in morning or evening and this greeted me every morning for the next 5 days after the storm before it warmed up enough to melt the ice away. The shine is somewhat muted by the camera, to the eye it was dazzling.

Winter here is cold nights (-10C to -5C) and mild days (5C to 15C) It rarely gets COLD.
