Everything is Snow Covered and Frozen
There's been a couple days' reprieve between weather events. Yesterday, it actually got above freezing for several hours, and today it was sunny and cold. January light can be so blue and crystal clear. Everything stands out in sharp focus. Some one told me that it hasn't snowed this much in Southampton since 1925. Anything on the ground is frozen and buried in snow and ice.
Walking down by the bay beach where I live, I found a small patch of water that wasn't frozen; it's part of a small inlet and because of the big tide, it has remained ice free so far. I really like the pattern of the duck's feet in the snow. It amazes me that they can sit and frolic in that ice cold water, happily quacking, and flapping their wings.
