By Mother Nature and Ogden Nash
“Winter is the king of showmen
Turning tree stumps into snow men
And houses into birthday cakes
And spreading sugar over lakes
Smooth and clean and frosty white
The world looks good enough to bite
That’s the season to be young
Catching snowflakes on your tongue
Snow is snowy when it’s snowing
I’m sorry it’s slushy when it’s going”
Winter Morning Poem by Ogden Nash
we’ve been hit with snow again here in the Washington DC area … snow on snow … with more on the way this weekend … the photos with the yellow glow are ones I took at midnight last night … I like the way they are not quite in focus … it certainly is a winter wonderland … a winter to remember … we never have this many snow events all in a row (more than 24 inches already this winter) … never say never … Enjoy * Enjoy

It was such a magical snow last night and this morning with the white fog. Would not have been surprised to see Cinderella in her white carriage coming out of the woods….. or the Snow Queen. Yes it was so magical and still is right now. Beautiful photos.

Wow! and more this weekend. I love the photo of the gate! I was coming up Friday to see my folks in Arlington but decided to wait a few days till the snow has passed. It is 56 today here and sunny, funny how a few hundred miles can be so different.

Is there another Carmen out there? I was still reading the paper at eleven this a.m. I’m the lazy Carmen! But when I saw the snow this morning, I knew you would have some beautiful photos. You never disapoint me. Very nice. It was really beautiful.

You took some awesome pix, Patty. I think your snow must have been wetter than ours. But now that the slush has melted and frozen, my car has settled up against a bush. I couldn’t control the slide as I came up the driveway hill. And more on the way. It is beautiful, though.
