It’s been snowing for about 24 hours now.

With desperate resolution I struck out to replenish victuals.
The mighty warrior-doggess Tobia forayed along.

Alongside the path we trod, trees stood with quiet menace.

In other news, winter this year is mild. At times more like a mild autumn, really.

The lakes have frozen and thawed repeatedly while the wind was playing various tunes. The result is a fractal pattern of some beauty:

And finally, the same thing from a wider perspective:
