North America has had so much snow this Winter! Cincinnati so far (and Winter isn't over yet!) has had its fifth snowiest Winter on record. The record is 53.9, which fell in the Winter of 1977-78. So far we've had 44 inches. 11.2 inches is the average for an entire Winter!

This is my backyard on a snowy day. See the creek? It looks like a hook or a J on its side. It subsequently got covered entirely.

another backyard shot on a sunny day. It's been colder and sunnier than usual as well. Our Winters are normally warmer and very gray. I realized that I can handle cold if it's sunny. It's the dreary, dark days that are difficult.
There's a squirrel's nest in the middle of the photo near the right.

caveat: Our weather--and that includes snow--is measured at the airport which is in Kentucky! That's south of us.

What a cold snowy winter we've had!

It's been sunnier than usual though, for which I am grateful.

January

January has been mostly cold and snowy, but thankfully sunnier than usual overall. Here are a few random photos from this month.

My Meyer lemon tree has a myriad of blooms! mmm...they smell heavenly!

a tree in my backyard. See the squirrels' nest?

Sunlight and stacked wood lend a feeling of warmth to the frigid day.

I made a mini journal for a friend. (Art: the expression of human imagination and skill to produce, according to aesthetic principles, what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.)

I worked on photographing some of my dyed outfits.

snowy days

Snow silently fell through the night on Wednesday and then all day yesterday. While I was out and about in this magical snow-covered worId I took these photos.

The above 3 photos are all color!

Today it's gloriously sunny. and freezing! The snow glows and sparkles in the bright sunlight.

The snow looks like soft, fluffy cotton!

It snowed!

Many bushes and trees still have leaves.

Flowers are still blooming.

The birds have not yet consumed all the berries.

The temperatures have been mostly warm...till last night when rain turned to snow! It's just a light dusting, but giving us notice that Fall is turning into Winter.
