Description
Grass in my front yard. I take shots like this every winter. The overwhelming, uniform snow and the individual stalks of grass.Related content

Here: haiku in the less light of the modern storm. Really delicate, nice shot.

thanks 
it's what i'm looking at out my window all day. not much color out there - gray tree trunks, dark green evergreen needles, and this yellow grass stands out.
yesterday i also noticed the blue light inside the snow when you stick a shovel into it, which is pretty cool.

That is about how we look. I just watched a bit on climate change which said this type of winter will be the new normal, the weather systems have slowed down because of less snow and ice cover in the arctic. I think I'll take the snow over the rain their getting in England.

Yes, that flooding is awful. And this is what's ahead climatically... I need some time to get my head around this being how winters are going to be - start telling myself next November that I'm about to spend the next few months indoors.

It gets depressing but the light is so much better now. We are getting more snow today but only three to six inches.

That's right about the light, I had to go out in the late afternoon yesterday and I noticed it. I like it.
More snow - same here but less, one to three inches. I ran an errand this morning, roads were just coating as I came home - hopefully I can get out again later. We don't have mail delivery to our door, have to drive two miles to the mailboxes. Haven't been able to, so many times this winter.

I just got back and the roads are snow covered here. How I love those 25 mph drives. It has been slippery stuff this year, I have four wheel drive and still sliding. Thant's a long way to get to your mail box, how come ?

We live in a private development - a "community" - of a few hundred homes and all the mailboxes are in one place. This part of the state is full of them, they range from fancy gated ones (not us) to down-at-the-heels ones (also not us). We'd never heard of this (except for fancy ones) till we moved here. We pay a fee to the community for trash collection and snow plowing, and elect a governing committee. We still pay real estate taxes to the township. It's a way for townships to have development and collect taxes without providing services.
It HAS been slippery this year - we were caught in an icy storm coming home from church Christmas eve and my wife's car was barely okay and others were at a standstill on the hills. Lots of other slippery times too.
It has stopped snowing here - looks like less than two inches. I'm headed for those mail boxes now - real careful-like.

Yes, it always snows at least a little. Some winters there are few or small storms - some winters the snow melts and is gone before the next storm comes. This winter, the snow has fallen and stayed put because it never got warm between storms. My front yard has a couple of feet.

The most I ever saw when I lived in Kentucky was one foot, which stayed a while. Most years it never stuck. In one winter, the water in the river valley rose high enough to form a very shallow pond in the back of the back yard, which froze. You could sorta skate in snowshoes but got slowed down a lot by the grass that poked through the ice. It was very cool, as in "smokin!"
