December Blizzard

This pompus grass bends under the strain of blizzard conditions in the back yard. The white-out conditions are much more apparent on the roads then they are in this picture. 60 mph wind gusts and real-feel temperatures expected to be at -16 tonight make this weekend a dangerous time to be outside. And yet, snow levels in this part of Illinois are minimal compared to that of the northern states. I snapped this picture and quickly returned to my warm abode.
