I'm sitting in some hotel...where I've been since Monday and probably will be until Saturday.  Why?  Because I have no power at my house.  Why?  Because we got hammered here this past week with snow...freezing rain...more snow.....I have over 12" of snow at my house...but the trees just couldn't handle the weight of the snow...and the power lines couldn't handle the weight of the trees.  It looks like a "white" Katrina here.

    beautiful pictures, esp 2 and 3. sorry about the power lines. So I guess you'll be asking Santa for a shiny new snow shovel?

    All beautiful, excellent photos. Hope you're back to normal soon. Took me a while to get the white katrina reference, all I could think of is you need a few white russians.

    Just not right that something so beautiful can cause such havoc!!! The photos are very beautiful. I hear we are suppose to get hit with a snow storm tomorrow. Say we should get 8 " between Friday and Saturday. Yep...pretty...but such a bother! Hope you get back home soon.

    Beautiful shots, I like 2 & 3. Hope you are home in your own place, and everything is ok. Be safe. We're getting rain, which is supposed to turn to ice soon, It's down to 28 degrees right now. Snow by tonite, 3" to 6" or 8", guess they can't figure it out. :o)

    The first Christmas that I spent in Vancouver,BC we had about 5 or 6 inches of snow, but that part of the country rarely gets that much snow. I haven't heard from my brother -in-laws yet or my cousin so I don't know how they have faired with the cold weather. I hope that you can soon be able to go home.

    Out of this world, Jam. I think I like #3 best, because of the cloud.
