First snow of 2011

Only six inches this time instead of the 20 we had after Christmas.  But it is still just as pretty.

I love the way snow blankets the world in silence and the almost mystical whiteness before the plows scrape the snow into gray-brown piles and sounds of civilization resume.

    I always loved waking up in the middle of the night and realizing it had started to snow – very quiet and light outside. Your pictures are lovely.

    We got this too! (We actually probably got 8 inches or so, which is the most snow we’ve seen here in 2 years?!) It is pretty, till you try to do something! 🙂

    So beautiful. That first snow is always the most beautiful. Hope that 2011 is blanketed with beauty, creativity and all good things.xox

    So pretty! I especially love that muted silence when the snow is falling.

    I wish we had snow where I live… I love it, I love the winter clothes like big furs and lots of layers…
