It's been so cold, with icy sidewalks, that I've only gone out for necessary things - no sky pictures for this week. So I am using couple of pictures I took last week where I live in the Southern Tier of New York.
This February 13 reflection in a puddle surrounded by slush, while the sun was out and some melting was taking place, caught my eye.
This, taken February 11, is more like what we see too much of the time during the winter. Can you tell that I am sick of winter? I'm not one for the pleasures of winters. I long for green and flowers but know that the pleasures of spring come out of this type of weather for us.
We did have a brief thaw last weekend where a lot of the snow melted, and the Canadian geese returned to a local park, taken February 15. Now, the ground is covered again, with both snow and ice, including lake effect snows we got late yesterday afternoon into the evening.

Nice puddle reflection. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteI like the puddle photo. It's cold here now, but next week we are heading into the 60's. Can't wait for spring.
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm sick of winter or anything, but I've been doing a daily countdown until spring. 27 more days as of today, btw.
ReplyDeleteThe sun was out today and I can see the driveway. Yay!
ReplyDeleteOur winter has been generally - and typically - mild here near the Gulf Coast but that polar vortex has even reached into southeastern Texas this week.
ReplyDeletewinter is always pretty in pictures
ReplyDeleteIt looks like winter and oh so cold. I hope you get a sunny day soon.
ReplyDeleteBrrrr, it dos look cold. I hope the sun is out soon!
ReplyDeleteI love Winter here in Vegas but that's because it gets so hot here in the Summer time and I really hate that.
ReplyDeletethecontemplativecat here. winter is a memory of Illinois and then moving to California. Our winters range from 59 deg to 80, all in two days. I'll take the snow, but it will be in the mountains.
ReplyDeleteI don't do well in the cold, and February is my most hated month. Glad it's almost over. I turn into a hermit in Jan and Feb.
ReplyDeleteJust think how much you'll enjoy the spring when it finally appears. If it was always spring, I doubt you'd enjoy it as much.
ReplyDeleteNice bit of tree reflection! Slush... yuck.
