The temperature here in Anchorage was supposed to reach 20 F today. It never made it. I think that the high was closer to 10F. It's now just above 0F. From what I've seen on the news, winter in the rest of the US is colder than was expected.

To commemorate this unanticipated change in temperature, how about a new landscape thread with the theme of winter?

Here are three to start it.
1. Frozen Portage Lake in late afternoon, Chugach National Forest, AK
2. Tidal ice plates near Homer, AK
3. Ice pans in tidal area along Cook Inlet, AK
