We had a major winter storm this weekend. It started with rain yesterday AM, which pooled into major puddles everywhere until it morphed to sleet/ice through late afternoon/evening. Overnight, the precip turned to snow which lasted all night. It is nearly 6PM here and it is still snowing! We woke up to a very quiet winter wonderland this AM and no power. Most churches and activites in the area were cancelled, so it’s been an unexpected “free” day, which we’ve used to talk, read, shovel and catch a gorgeous afternoon run. It is just so very beautiful that we wanted to share it here. Oh, and our power just came back on. Yea!!!! Now we can watch the Academy Awards to the light of our fire AND real lights:)

Our Street. Hours later, we started a run from this spot

Our front yard crab-apple tree fared better than most other trees in our yard that lost numerous branches to beautiful, but heavy ice blankets

View along Beaver Creek Trail where we went running. Just kidding. It’s really not, but could be. Actually, this shot was taken in Colorado, in October, on a walk from BearCave:) Thanks again to the friends of Jess’s family!!
