Lest those of you in northerly climes think those of us in the more southward regions are unfamiliar with winter hardship...

The view outside my kitchen door yesterday morning. The white, level area behind the trees is a state highway:

My front wipers underneath the snow layer:

The rear wiper (my snow shovel was frozen inside the hatchback--a minor setback):

I have two more.

I especially like this one as the ice formed teardrop shapes around the buds:
