Winter Again

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep,   

And miles to go before I sleep.     Robert Frost

December was the warmest ever here, but January is trying to make up the difference.  Sadly it is yo-yo weather; cold and snowy one day, followed by warm and sunny, followed by snow and cold again.  Yesterday was 56 degrees (f) and tonight it will 0 (f) degrees.  The above and below pictures were taken on Wednesday when it was a snow day.

The snowy days do have their advantages in that the resident canine and I do not encounter and bicycles, runners, joggers, walkers or dogs when we are out.  The only sounds we heard were the wind, the river and the crunch of snow.
