The Poconos are Snow Beautiful

On New Year's Eve morning, I had to go to Blooming Grove, as a buyer was interested in a cabin I have listed for sale. The previous evening, about seven to eight inches of snow had fallen over this section of The Poconos, coating everything in sight and softening all the harshness of winter.

Even though I am no fan of winter and cold weather (then why do I live here??!), there is something about new snowSnow Trailer that makes winter more tolerable. Though last winter was mild, comparatively speaking, the lack of snow made it depressing, for me at least.

With snow clinging to the bare tree limbs, the branches no longer look so bleak and forlorn. Covering up the roadways, though temporarily, snow hides the filth of salt and cinders.

 

Even this trailer, abandoned in Pike County for heaven knows how many years, doesn't look as blighted when the edges are softened with freshly fallen snow.

Every day is what you make of it. It can be bleak, or it can be an opportunity to find beauty, somewhere. I'll opt for the beauty.

Wishing you all the best in 2008, and in the beautiful years to come.

 

 

Since I don't believe in keeping all this beauty to myself, I thought I would share five of my favorite recent snow shots with you. These were all taken in Pike County - and even though I prefer to be warm (I'd like to be neighbors with Chris, as long as her possums are under control) you will see why I truly do love to call northeastern PA (NEPA) my home.

Thanks for sharing Karen.  As someone who lived in snow country for most of his life, I can say truthfully that I don't miss driving in it or shovelling it at all.  The photos are nice but just about as close to the real thing as I want to get.  We had a hard freeze here in Louisiana last night but I'm sure the temp will be back in the 60's or 70's soon.

The snow is beautiful, but I don't miss freezing.  So I will stick with the sandy beaches and palm trees.

See, if I were near sandy beaches and palm trees, I wouldn't need the snow for beauty, either!  LOL

Thanks Chris and Don for stopping by!

Karen, still enjoying your snow photos.  I read alot of your blogs and just don't have time to comment. Work has picked up and A.R. just isnt as fun as it once was.

Karen- That sure looks nice. I live in Orlando and it snowed in Daytona Beach today! It was 19 degrees with the wind chill when I got up. I really don't like the cold, I prefer sitting in shorts and looking at internet pictures of snow. Had to pick all my lemons and oranges yesterday so they didn't freeze. Keep warm.

Karen - There is really something beautiful about the fresh snow.  What I hate is having to clean the driveway especially when the snow is not nice and fluffy.
