Two weeks ago we had our first snow for the season. I wasn't able to get good pictures because the mountain was hiding in the clouds. The mountain has only recently decided to come out, and you can see just a tiny sliver of the snow remaining.

| The mountain has stopped hiding! If you look really hard, you can see a small sliver of snow left from the first snow fall. |
For the next few days, it is supposed to be nice out, although very cooold Even with five layers of clothes on this morning, I was
still freezing as I was running around the yard taking pictures - it was just so pretty out, I couldn't help myself.

It so cold out that everything
is frozen right now. And in the backyard we have strange looking ice crystal called
needle ice. Needle ice can form any
place where the ground freezes. Needle
ice is made up of thin ice crystals that grow upward, starting just below the
grounds surface. These ice crystals have
made the ground rise several inches. I
think they are really neat looking so I just had to take some pictures.
