This year, the winter weather throughout the United States has included one extreme event after another. The extremes in Minnesota's weather have included many consecutive days of below-zero wind chills, followed by snowfalls of more than a foot of snow, which was followed by 40 degrees Fahrenheit days and rain. Although the weather makes it challenging to get around, it does create some beautiful landscapes.
This photo was taken a couple of days after we got 15 inches of snow. I decided to venture out to the countryside. Despite all the experience Minnesotans have with snow, it was a tough snowfall to clear. Even a couple of days after the snowfall, getting through the snow-covered roads was hard. Once I got out to the countryside, I saw this gorgeous full moon at the end of the first day that I got out. Knowing that the full moon would be there in the morning, I got up early the next day. I took photos of the beautiful moon going down as the sun rose over the snow-covered landscape.
