Winter Wonderland: Snowy, Winter Scenes across the US

Winter is my favorite time of the year. Watching the fluffy white snow fall down & pile up outside, building a snowman, cross country skiing, an ice skating adventure at the beginning of a winter’s storm…there is nothing more exhilarating than being surrounding by the fresh, fluffy, beautiful falling snow.
There is nothing more festive than snow, especially around the holidays. The anticipation of a White Christmas can’t be beat. A beautiful wintry day can brighten anyone’s outlook (as long as you don’t have to travel in it!). For those of you who will not see any snow this season and for those of you like me who can’t get enough snow, here are some wintry pictures I have collected during my travels the past few years.
