Whoa... NO THANKS to the white stuff... awesome capture! #9295151Michelle Alton March 17, 2011
Looks like another world, for sure. It's unbelievable, and the delicate morning altocumulus (I think) clouds really soften it. #9295517Agnes Fegan March 17, 2011
It sure doesn't look like spring where you are!!! Terrific image Irene! #9296499Lyn Darlington March 18, 2011

Taking a look through your gallery and found this amazing capture! I don't like snow but this is AWESOME! #9384995Phyllis A. Houghton May 09, 2011
It looks like something out of a movie. What neat shapes the wind carved for this great capture. It looks cold even with the blue skies and sun shining on this snow sculture. It reminds me of white chocolate shavings. #9397018Patricia White May 31, 2011
Was just wondering if this snow is gone now. I heard Colorado has a lot of snow somewheres and they are still skiing. #9437293Joyce S. Court August 01, 2011
This absolutely stunning. I've never seen that much snow. I live in the sunny south. #9575210Debbie Bray September 30, 2011
What an amazing, gallery you have, Patricia! I've not ever even seen snow, so to see it like that is just phenominal! Especially on a prairie! I thought that snow fell mainly around mountains. Your other images are beautiful too. A lovely slice of prairie life and wildlife. #9708395Nikki McDonald February 26, 2012
