A photo taken after our first snowfall of the season. But if we have our warm coats, ice scrapers, shovels, and other winter gear ready, we are “Good to Go! Stay warm and safe! Happy Winter!

I dropped off an Amish family at their relative’s place for church, driving on bare gravel road. Seven hours later it had turned into a “Winter Wonderland” with snow and deep buggy tire tracks. I did make it home safely.
This Amish Mother and daughter decided to return and walk home later. When they had walked to church it had been a “balmy” 39 degrees F, but by noon things had changed, with a fierce west wind.
With my tele lens and the speed of the girl, this photo only captured the lady! Stay warm!
These Amish youth are enjoying this cold weather to get some ice skating in. On some ponds they also play ice hockey. I think this photo shows them playing a game, where they tag people on the other team, and they can only be released when you sneak behind the lines and tag them. This cold spell lasted almost 4 weeks. I think the skating ended several days ago. It is pouring “cats and dogs” today. Forecast is for some freezing rain, which I hope doesn’t happen.
On the ground catching its prey.
Airborn!
Perched after the kill! Unless he missed the prey!
Typical scene in Holmes County, Ohio in January.
Still some hints of Christmas amidst this new snowfall.
