Can't kid myself it's Fall any longer - it's December and Winter is upon us! No snow yet in this part of Oklahoma, but some very cold days and freezing nights. I decided to trawl once more through my husband's collection of "found photographs" at Lost Gallery to find some pics of winters long past. People were not quite as keen to be amateur photographers when it was cold outside, snow on the ground, but I found a few examples.
Snow for the young, or young at heart, has always meant - snowballs. Throw 'em, eat e'm, or just stand in the cold for a class photograph waiting for a chance to do either.

I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six.

A snowflake is one of God's most fragile creations, but look what they can do when they stick together!

A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.

Time for the weather report. It's cold out folks. Bonecrushing cold. The kind of cold which will wrench the spirit out of a young man, or forge it into steel.
