Minnesota Winter Begins (Original Photography)

Howdy,

It's official. The snow is flying and the temperatures have become painfully cold. The wind and sub-freezing temperatures combined to sting exposed skin and make the morning walk to my office on campus more difficult. Snow began falling last night and, when we all thought it was done, it started up again! Naturally, I headed out with my camera.

Driving through the state park, there was no sign of the bison. That's not really a surprise, though. If I were a bison, today, I'd have found a warm-ish place to sleep and wait this weather out.

I stopped to watch the snow in this little patch of prairie for awhile, then headed to the surrounding farmland. My "new" Jeep is so much easier to drive than the rear wheel drive truck I had before. It should make winter photo runs a lot more viable this year.

Somehow, I never noticed this little house on the side of the road, just outside Mankato. I must have driven past it at least a dozen times. With the snow falling more and more heavily, it was hard to miss!
