Photographer's Note
We had a small storm front pass through overnight -- but it didn't bring nearly as much snow as had been promised.
It left folks having to dig their cars out this morning primarily because high winds had caused snow drifts. The most important thing it did was to make the world clean and white again -- and of course it will bring a little more moisture to the soil when it melts in the spring.
This view is from my living room window (on the third floor of a small 9-storey apartment building)
Tech: shot in RAW (only my second week of trying out that medium), converted to JPG and resized for posting
Thanks for your visits, your comments and your suggestions
Have a great day (^0^)

Hi Silke,
Lovely view and what a beautiful wintery landscape! I love the look of all that fresh snow. Great framing by the trees on both sides. Beautiful compostion with lots of details and soft colours. Well done, Silke!
Greetings,
Ann

Hello Silke,
Seems like you got some snow but not more than you can handle!
And the sunshine adds to the beauty of snow, but also offers some eposure problems...
Here you manage well, and capture good natural colours and fine details... Nice framing!
Greetings,

Hi Silke,
That snow really looks pure. And I see it came down with wind: there's plenty on the ground but it didn't stay on the roof. I like this simple scene. There's a lot of that tree on the left. This might work well cropped to square format.

Hi Silke,
A good POV of the house surrounded and partially covered by snow. The photo has a good composition, DOF and nice colors. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Silke,
This is a beautiful winter scene. Yes I had to dig my car with the recent ice/snow storm also. Well presented. Good natural looking colors and DOF is about right. Greetings! Danilo

Hello Silke!
You call that a small storm front!
In our country, if the snow falls like this, everything is paralysed!
That winter, we had...three snowy days.
Best regards from Rainland!

Silke, I assume that roof has a South exposure... ;)
If not someone needs to put some insulaton in the attic, eh.
I think this shot will be a treat for Suid Afrikaners! Meanwhile I have but one small nit: the house is out of kilter.
Tfs, J.
PS Love the icicles!

Hi Silke. Good POV to show just how much snow you have had in recent days. Good clarity and especially i like to see the slate roof texture which stands out against the white. Excellent. Murray.

Hi Silke,
Agree there is not much snow to see, especially having in mind this is Canada, but I like its rich whites that make the view luminous and the nice house, it it your home ?
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hello Silke. A beautiful view on a in-snowed house. Light ideally. With this view one must feel in the own warm dwelling correctly well. The photo shows that the motives lie also before the own entry door. Beautifully seen and realizes. Best regards, Wolfgang.
