The cold temperatures and some precip resulted in an inch or two of snow that covered the mountains and lasted for days. It's so scenic... crystal clear blue skies and mountain vistas made for days of awesome photography backdrops.
There is so much depth in the Appalachian mountain culture around here and it really comes out in Winter. Surrounded by long range views, ancient barns and farmsteads standing austere across a snowy expanse, rosy cheeks and smiles from locals and that ever persistent 'how ya doin' wave of the finger as you drive the back country roads.
