Winter, the Cold-Hearted Sculptor

Brrr! Can you feel that chill down your spine? And on the tip of your nose? And everywhere else? Yeah, winter’s here, bringing with it rain and ice and snow, covering the land in shades of white. Lakes and rivers freeze over. Trees lose their leaves and don a frosty, white foliage. Everything seems to be slower and quieter. Winter can also be a sculptor, manipulating the water in the air into spectacular shapes:
