Winter is official even if the calendar says wait until December. It was very cold last night. It will probably look like this in my front yard until April. Some years it's much deeper than this, some years it's not. We shall see.
A magpie checks out the fog and snow from up high.
Flowers put on their snow caps.
I struggle with maintaining a cheerful attitude about winter, but it's My World with a little Macro Monday thrown in.

The images are gorgeous yet I'm shivering just looking at them. And it's chilly here, but no snow yet. So glad. I really don't like to be cold. Maybe I should move to Costa Rica next winter, or New Zealand. Hmmmmm.....
Want to go along? ;-)
Gorgous photos but I'm glad I'm not there, I really hate snow. (Which probably doesn't surprise you!) Perhaps we need a Blogger count down to Spring?
Ooooohhhhh Loran, Bet you wish you were at the beach this week!!!!! Mercy Me--that looks COLD. I love snow--but not this soon. Picky Picky!!!! ha
Beautiful pictures.
Hugs,
Betsy
We just had winter arrive this morning: lots of cold dust everywhere... Your pictures are beautiful Loran, though I read you on the cold...
A cute little snowcap
Your post title and the tone of your post reminded me of a poem by Robert Frost and I had to go away and look it up:
"Always the same, when on a fated night/At last the gathered snow lets down as white/As may be in dark woods..."
I've never experienced months of snow, but I can sense your foreboding.
You'll look forward to the time when you'll "see the snow all go downhill/In water of a slender April rill".
I really wouldn't want to wish snow on anyone (except perhaps Betsy), but I am glad the snow is out there rather than here. I really liked your macros though!
Very well done series. I need a hot cup of coffee and a warm blanket now.
As winter progresses we can share some snow photos. It is the shorter days that get me down
Oh, yes! Your captures are indeed gorgeous! And they do make me shiver! I'll remember to look at them before I start complaining about our rain, wind, and gray -- uncomfortable maybe, but not that cold!!!
Brrrrrr Stay warm!

Pretty winry pictures.
We don't have snow yet, but it's been too cold to ride. I'm hoping for a little window of warmer weather before real winter sets in.
We got cold here but no snow yet in my part of Oklahoma. I love your pictures, especially the magpie up in the tree. Pickings are going to be slim for him I would imagine.
That is an early winter. Pictures are beautiful.
So cold but they are beautiful captures. We're still stuck on the weather merry-go-round...70 yesterday, 60 today, 50 tomorrow. I wish our rain would turn to snow!
Your photos are gorgeous. I love the winter, but I don't live in winter-wonder-land! Thanks!
Give me your winter snows and you can have out heatwave, over 100F again tomorrow and no relief in sight, the garden in baked to a crisp.
I guess our bluebirds are actually gone, but we'll always have the magpies!
