wonderful winter in that there was been snowfall after snowfall / less wonderful in that following and at times accompanying each snowfall temps rose to hovering either above or below zero bringing freezing rain and ice pellets which made for virtually impossible to drive on icy roads and rather than add to the chaos of accidents on the roads we stayed home at best watching the snow fall across all  local news channels screens. 

the times i was able to get out into the magic of this year’s winter i was find, enjoy and add winter still open streams as a background to heavily snow draped forests which acted like screens thru which to see the open streams.
