There's something magical about the way a snowstorm simplifies a landscape. What was a tangle of native bunchgrass and cheat grass suddenly becomes only a white and yellow pattern, dotted with red willows and the wandering fencle lines. And of course, while driving through this magical scene I could enjoy it properly because my husband was handling the icy roads!

    Thanks everyone! The snow storm made the atmosphere so peaceful, I loved the simplicity of the landscape. But only because I didn't have to drive in it!
