Standing guard for the snow and cold.

Have to try the roads, I suggested to my dear wife Karen the morning after this winter of our delivered another night full of snow and frightening cold.

Go on, she said.

So I planned. Get this and that from the supermarket. Return a few due books off at the book drop at the closed library. And dare to walk down to my favorite lake park.

Yes, I did.

And it was as cold and snowy as I expected.

More photos from my frosty jaunt to come.
