We were suppose to get a lot of snow in the early AM on Christmas day. Didn't happen. My wife was so disappointed. Arnold California

Paul, nicely captured. I do miss the Colorado snows, mountains, and critters.

My feelings also. I loved a lot of snow when I was a youngster (8,9, 10 yrs old) but now I hate the stuff. Although I am retired and don't have to drive 70 miles to work in it.

And that is why I now live in Florida. I can turn off the TV or turn the page if I see snow. And that is plenty of snow for me. Growing up at 3200 feet at the northern end of the Appalachian Plateau, we would go usually 6 weeks starting around the second week in January when if the thermometers could be read, it was a warm day. The mercury or alcohol would be all the way down into the bulb, and digital anything did not yet exist. I got very tired of go to the back door and having to shovel my way up to the top of the snow in order to go and probe for the car with a 15 foot apple picker. The bamboo pole being the 15 feet, and the snow being very nearly that deep when we got up some mornings. Oh, and if it felt a bit nippy, we would spit. If you heard a crack sound before it hit the snow, we knew it was at least 40 below 0. The snow could be beautiful, but shoveling it was not fun.

Good thing your subject had some blue on and a ruddy face. Otherwise he would have been invisible.

Well folks,
no offence, but I was actually hoping to get only comments about the image and perhaps also about the incredible beauty the snow covered forest offers - but not whines about the cold some of you expressed?
Yes Virginia, rain water usually freezes in cold temperatures creating fantastic shapes of snowflakes.
BTW plenty of winter snow means - a good supply of the precious water in summer - our Planet seems to be running out off.
So there. Thank you for viewing anyway, photo-friends!

I love the photo, period. When I lived in Colorado, way back when, I thought I'd seen enough of snow forever, but 32 years in New Mexico has given me a new appreciation of that long cool drink that snow promises. Where I live we've had precious little of it these past many years; last year we had virtually nothing, and the landscape really shows it. Over the past couple of days we've had the beautiful gift of a good snowfall (though not as much as your photo shows), and I hope to get out tomorrow to record some images to share with folks here. I understand that for many people snow is an inconvenience to be avoided; for others it can be catastrophic and life-threatening. For us in the West, it is a life-giver.
