It was bright enough to exterior paint the exterior of the house last night. With the 4 " of new snow it, it was a fairy wonderland outside. Dead calm. The individual branches of any tree within range had a little "frosting" sitting atop each branch or twig. Simply stunning. Thanks for your post! Kind regards, Megan |

Definately the darkest day, as my Dad passed away during the lunar eclipse last night.
I'll see you again on the dark side of the moon Dad! ![]() -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
