Snowflakes caught in the needles of a Blue Spruce (Picea pungens).
Today astronomical winter begins which pleases me greatly. Bring on the winter weather. I’m totally ready for it.
Two mornings in a row now there has been a slight dusting of snow. Perhaps a glimpse of things to come?

Mighty cold out there today. But of course it is. It’s the first day of meteorological winter. The temperature here today reached a high of 42º. Some of Skyline Drive, in Shenandoah National Park, has been closed due to icy conditions.
Winter, I’m mighty pleased to see you.

Raindrops gathering on Blue Spruce (Picea pungens). Precious, wonderful rain falling on a very dry mountain landscape.
First rain in 6 weeks. Most welcome.
