Winter In New York

It's been really, really cold for the last week. It had rained previous to our arctic cold spell, so most of the snow was gone and it was just frigid outside. But last week it decided to dump more snow on us ... but stay very frigid outside. This is a picture of Taughannock Falls, which is south of us about 25 or so minutes. Taughannock Falls plunges 215 feet past rocky cliffs that tower nearly 400 feet above the gorge. I think it's really awesome looking in the winter with all the snow and ice. Notice how the water is still flowing -- amazing, given that we've been in the single digits, with wind-chill factors putting us well below 0 degrees. Oh the joys of upstate New York winters! I won't miss them once we're gone! But I will miss the gorgeous scenery around here -- it's a beautiful place that we live in!!
