First Day of Winter

I believe this is the first official day of winter. It certainly looks like it outside - here are some photos I took just a few minutes ago. The first is looking out of our front door.
And this is our driveway - notice the almost covered lights. I measured from 6 inches (15cm) to 12 inches (30cm) of snow over the driveway, depending on where I was.
And it's supposed to snow for several more hours! I'm linking this to the "Snow Parade" on Tina's PicStory blog - what a great idea for a one-time themed meme, so visit it to see more snow-themed photos!

  3. Ah, it does look cold, but beautiful, Al! And what great shots! I bet Socks is not that anxious to go outside today!! We actually have sun today -- I'm sure it won't last, but I'll surely enjoy them while they're here! Wishing you and your family a wonderful, beautiful and Merry Christmas! Enjoy!

  4. I would think if Socks went outside today, he would probably be buried!

    And I feel cold through and through just looking at these pictures!
