Gran....thanks so much for those snow pics...I especially like the one with the date of 1945, because that is the year I was born...a good year, of course...

What I feel when I see those snow pictures, is a bit of nostalgia, from when I lived in the midwest, and lots and lots of snow was par for the course, growing up in Chicago...There is great beauty in a landscape full of snow...

What I always remember about such heavy snowfalls, was the sound of 'silence'....there was always a particular sound, to me, after a heavy snowfall...its really hard to explain, because its really the 'sound' of the absence of sound in the thick snow...I suppose that may make no sense to others, but its just how I perceive it....

Anyway, I have kept your pics for my own, because they are really so beautiful...

thanks...
