I love winter. I love snow. Whether it is looking at it falling or draped over the trees, snow is a beautiful sight to behold. There is something warm, comforting and secure in watching a snow fall. There is also a peace and solitude that slips on well.
Come take a walk, enjoy the view.
Things Are Looking Up... 
I agree. As much as I think the weather here in central OH is generally better than at home (Rochester, NY), I do miss good snowfalls and real winter very much.
The picture is beautiful, as is the scene. What lake?
