Welcome to Coffee Hour. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you. I mainly grew up in Northern California so snow and ice were something that I saw only when skiing. After moving to the Chicago area and then to Indiana snow and ice were very familiar. When I came to North Carolina I figured I wouldn't see any more snow but the last two winters have proven me wrong. Even though snow and ice are my least favorite things to drive in I have to admit they can make very nice pictures. When Mom was alive I would go out and take pictures of the snow for her. All except the last picture were taken in Indiana. The last picture is from North Carolina.
