Snow Queen

A photo I took during one of the worst winter storms in Maritime history. They named it “White Juan” after “Hurricane Juan” that devastated most of the province only months before. It was storming and the fog was like pea soup… at the same time!
Hoping this isn’t Mother Nature’s way of kicking us in the pants when it comes to global warming.

And that… is why I moved to California. 17 years in Wyoming, 7 years in Missouri and 23 years in Colorado. I got tired of shoveling snow. ;o)
