Winter, Winter, Everywhere

I'll have to get outside again to take pictures since we had a raging blizzard in Grand Marais last night.  The winds are still gusting, but it seems that the snow has slowed down.  Yesterday it snowed all day.  A bunch of my friends came over to celebrate winter, as well as my birthday.  Thanks to everyone for a great afternoon.  By the time we headed outside, we had already received around 8 or 10 inches of snow.  After that, we received around another foot.  Here are a few photos taken during our snowshoe.
