Winter Scenery

What is it like where we live? It is so different from anyplace I've ever lived that it's hard to describe. So maybe these photos can tell a better story than I can.
This was taken from the airplane as we approached the White Plains airport. It looks beautiful to me. You are looking at eastern New York state. We got a snowfall yesterday so there is a lot of fresh snow. From our house to White Plains is about 60 miles and it's southwest from here. We are just 30 miles east of the New York state line.

If my geography is correct, this is Rye Lake, which lies just to the west of the White Plains airport. I took this picture on our approach to landing. This photo is looking south and in the distance is Manhattan.

This is the front of Mary's school, Nonnewaug High School, the day after a snowfall.

Mary's school has the largest agricultural magnet school in the state of Connecticut. This is its entrance, which is to the front and right of the above photo.

This picture is for Mary (Lourich) and Priscilla. The blanket you knitted is on the chair. It looks great in the family room!

Proceed with caution. This video lasts 3 minutes, 20 seconds. It's for those of you who asked if we live in the country - so maybe this can give you some perspective. I started the video on Main Street (the closest thing to a "happening place" in Woodbury) and drove from there to our house (it's a mile and half away). Note: I'm not going as fast as it seems I am.
