Snowy Days

We had about 25 cm of snow a few days ago and a bit of fresh snow yesterday.  The landscape is molded in white.  This picture makes the snowbanks look smaller than they are . They are higher than my waist.  The photo was taken at my mom's house in the Laurentians, and, at this time of year, the abundant snow is very reminiscent of Peter and the Wolf.  The air is really refreshing up in the mountains and the snow is just so clean.  Although winter can seem long, I would miss the beautiful days of fresh snow if I didn't have them.
