Old Man Winter...

is apparently making himself at home. According to our (PA's) resident February forecaster (Punxsutawney Phil), winter is going to be around for another 6 weeks. As opposed to a mere month and a half until spring... but come on, can we really expect a reliable forecast from a rodent who lives in a heated luxury hole for the other 364.75 days of the year? I think not. He'd say anything just to get back to the warmth. Huh. Never thought I would have something in common with Phil. Maybe he's not such a bad guy.

Anyways, coming back to winter... we had a lovely snowfall last night into this morning. I love when the ground and trees are all thick and gorgeous with snow and the roads are not. So I took the opportunity of being an hour and a half early to work to see if anything struck my photographic fancy. And this bench did! So here is my shot du jour (or moment, but I don't know the French word for that):



More snow in the forecast for the weekend! Hope the rest of you are warm and snug in your beds (figuratively or literally, take your pick!)
