Winter Wonderland!! What a beautiful site to start the day with!

Today, on my way to work (wishing I was somewhere warm :)it was much better weather conditions than yesterday.

Some pictures from yesterday's winter storm.

We've had more snow than usual this year, due to solar activity in terms of sunspots which have decreased. As I get older, I crave the warmth and beaches. But it's sunny days like this where the snow is so heavy that it bends branches and there is not a breath of wind, which makes me not mind the Frozen North.

Well, if I can't have the Corinthian Gulf as a backdrop, the beauty of the Frozen North on a sunny day will have to do!

"The Frozen North"

Yup, and the further north you go, the more frozen it gets :-)
Here's a snippet from my experiences in the Yukon a lifetime ago:

Well I've heard say
On many a t.v. cowboy day
Of how the wild, wild West was won.
Well, the frozen north is a son of a son
Of a son of bitch
Where a few get rich
While the rest puke our guts
In the ditch
And friendships end
At the point of a gun.

I guess there wasn't too much beauty in the eye of this beholder back then LOL

Love it! Always teaching me something new :)

Awesome camera work, hope you can get some sunshine to keep it nice and warm...Go easy on the road

Will do and thanks!

That's so beautiful 😍 id love to visit snow but I've lived in Florida most my life I don't think I could ever live in it. Thanks for sharing

Are you living in Sweden?
Im from Sweden and it looks excactly like what we have in my city aswell.
We have had very much snow in a few days, but i love snow and cold so it fits me perfectly.

Love your snowy gif!! Nope, I'm from Western Canada. (North of Vancouver) Thanks for looking at my post!

Ok, youre pictrues looked just like it was taken in Sweden.
Glad you like the GIF

That does look a little chilly! Love the icicles... They always remind me of some sort of monster teeth. That last landscape looks like a cold, cold morning.

Haha, is that as bad as texting and driving? It looks as if you didn't have to share the road with anyone, anyway!

It's nice seeing all those snow-covered conifers, too! We have mostly hardwoods here.

Haaa busted ( I think??) Yup, I often wonder if a law will be passed for someone like me that takes pictures while driving :) Thanks for the chuckle with the monster teeth thought, too fun!

That would have been an awesome place to have a drone follow your vehicle. Cold and battery life, though...

Its bad to text and drive if you have time check chupapic maybe you will like it thanks;)

@steem-samiam - Simply gorgeous pictures of the Frozen North! Looks enchanting and a winter wonderland. And wonderful pic of the tigers too... I will follow you.

Wow the snow looks so beautiful @steem-samiam but the roads arent looking to great. Snowy highways are the worst... but the last snow picture is so nice because the snow looks so fluffy

Which camera do you use , really you are proffessionel photographerI like all photos thank you so much for sharing dear @steem-samiam God Bless You

Just my iPhone 8. Thanks for the compliment and having a look at my post :)

wow!

perhaps you don't like it but I really would actually want to have that much ice here, too

I love the icicle shot!

Snowfall looks great in pictures especially when taken well. But it's certainly a serious pain when it lasts for more than a day and when it finally melts... :)

You brought back memories of my life in Canada ... and the beauty of nature dressed in white. Now, I live in Athens which is closer to the Corinthian Gulf you mention.

Did you go to the protest in Athens last week?

No -- I was sick & unfortunately unable to go!

Great Shots! I was supposed to make the drive from the middle of MI to OH yesterday, but after getting about 1/2 hour down the expressway I turned around and went back. It was nasty. I knew it was only going to get worse. I wish I could have gotten some photos like you did. They are fantastic! -@bozz

Thanks! It's a shame that a camera does not pick up the incredible sparkle of the snow at night time or I would show that too! Glad you played it safe and turned back!

Great photo's! Warm wish to you from Los Angeles California

Warm wishes are always appreciated! Thanks!

Oh My God! whatta skilled photography and shots you took @steem-samiam mind blowing <3

Those Tigers are real ??

Thanks! And yes the tigers are real :) Thanks for looking at my post!

Oh no fear at all, really impressed by your brave-heart ;) :)

Wow beautiful photos! We have had the opposite effect here in Colorado (USA), and that has been almost no snow! Except for today. Today we are actually getting a lot of snow for the first time this winter!!!! Anyways, I especially like the ice sickle photo, with the sky in the background, and the gif you made of driving on the road! See you around :)

Thanks for having a look at my post! Glad you are avoiding the snow for the most part :)
