We've been having some strange (for us) winter weather. It gets cold here (below freezing anyways), colder than just about anywhere else nearby. There is seriously about a 4-7 degree difference - colder - year round. So we've been having a lot of fog lately, even when it is 28 degrees (F) outside. We haven't had any snow in about a week or so, but because of this freezing fog it looks like we have had a ton of snow.
I took Ian out in it for a walk yesteray, and he of course found the little bit of remaining snow and started throwing snow balls at me. For no reason, can you believe that? : )
Anyways, I got in close for this shot so you could see what I'm talking about. The fog forms ice crystals that "grow" in every which direction, which makes it look beautifully like snow, as opposed to just freezing rain and ice.
And this is how it looks from a distance. Like it has just snowed and there is no wind. Like I said, it is beautiful. But if you go literally 10-15 minutes in any direction it disappears, except for the tippy-tops of the small mountains around here.
Finally, an extreme close-up. (I meant for this one to be first - but I just can't be bothered to try to straighten out this blogger, it pretty much puts the photos in the order it wants and makes it too difficult and time consuming to reorder them!).
