#XCSki #WinterStorm
Cross-country ski grooves on fresh fallen snow on a wooded trail. Snow-covered branches extend overhead. There's a little less than a foot of snow, some piled on a wooden sign to the side of the trail. It is still snowing. Ross A. Baker in the snowy woods. His long hair is frizzy and frozen over, sticking out of his red stocking hat. He is holding ski poles.

I like the days leading up to peak fall colors. Reds and yellows are lovely, but green is still beautiful, too.
