Compare and contrast....

....from March of 2008............flowering plum trees...... ...to ice laden plum trees.......in December of 2008.
The plan for this day after Christmas is to rest, regroup, and not go shopping!

Both views are beautiful!

I have had my coffee, I'm dressed, I've straightened the house, now I'm relaxing!

Me either since I can't get out of the driveway for the slush.

The ice tree lane is a picture card for sure!

I think I would prefer the ice trees if I didn't know that it can be very hard on them. We lost an enormous 60'x60' silver maple in the ice storm that we had in '03. Those trees are incredible and I do believe you could sell a few of those prints.

Beautiful.....I could not even begin to make a choice as to which season is the more beautiful, " for everything there is a time and a season" , We have had as much snow as you and even though it rained today, there is still a lot of snow around.

I too , use this time in-between celebrations to clean up and relax!
