Winter Has Arrived

After that gorgeous sunset last night it turned cold and wintery here today. The temperature dropped to 21 degrees with a wind chill of 5. Snow swirled around everywhere but no accumulation is expected. Black ice caused many backups on I-75 going to and from Cincinnati and Kentucky, some lasting for hours. I'm glad I'm snug in my home, watching it all from the windows.
There is a hike posted for tomorrow, but not for me, thank you very much!

They say it will get to 53 by Friday? Go figure.

I just saw the news and the snow in Cincinnati and thought of you. And here you are...Its not far from you is it? Glad you are safe and sound at home. Cute drawing. Did you do that? I cant read the signature. Looks like yours.

We had this same weather Kate. Yuck. It is only good if you get to stay home and watch it. Love your sketch. You really caught how windy it was.

Nice watercolor. Very effective, your technique depicting the blowing snow.
I also like how you've used two colors in the scarf.

It's 64 here today. Unbelievable!
