Winter is Here

After the beautiful November we are really having winter weather in December. But we have not had the big snowstorms that hit Alberta and western Saskatchewan in the last couple days. Yesterday was down to -23C but the winds were relatively light with fog in the morning.  This resulted in snow and hoarfrost on the trees.  When the sun came out later it was quite beautiful.  Yesterday afternoon Elaine took some pictures.  

This view is looking west from our back yard.  I put two pictures together of the snow and frost on the trees. 

These are two of the pictures Elaine took in the park near our house.  Those connected with Elaine on Facebook can see the rest of her photos posted there.
