  What do you mean "at the time"??!! It never stopped blowing yesterday. You sure captured a gorgeous moment, though, and the blowing snow we can see by the trees and barn adds to the chill and mood here. Nicely done, Ken.

  Such gorgeous light, Ken!
Love that dramatic sky!
Try to stay warm and toasty. The kids and I are heading for Florida tomorrow, (and there's a cold spell there, too!)
Always gotta make the most of what you've got, though... and you always manage to capture the beauty in everything you shoot, Ken... even in not-so-favorable conditions!
Many blessings, Lisa♥
