Winter Beauty

When you live in a "cold winter" state,

there are a lot of things you dread about January. 

Things such as driving in the snow, 
below freezing temperatures,

scraping ice off of your windshield, 
black ice and the wind chill factor.

However, there is something in particular 

I look forward to seeing every year,
and this morning they finally arrived--

 Our beautiful snow-covered mountains.

There are few things more spectacular.

With the mild temperatures this winter,

I've had to wait much longer than in past years to see them.

But, it's been well worth the wait.
