We had our first great winter kick-off blizzard over the past three days.  Snow, howling winds and -30 Celsius windchill.  We will have worse storms throughout the winter, but this first one of the season always seems to hit hard.

The view from my front door in a brief moment when I could actually see beyond the porch!


The chickadees were hanging on for dear life!  I am amazed that they could even fly in the face of the gale. 


My wreath looks lovely with a bit of snow on top, don't you think?
