The weather northwest of Chicago has been remarkable the last couple of days. On Saturday, the Elgin area received about a foot of snow, and this was while the majority of the Chicago area received only a couple of inches or so. Then Sunday morning dawned with a layer of thick fog, which formed a layer of frost on the trees and bushes, Door County-style.My wife and I drove through the farmlands just to the west of Elgin this morning, enjoying the sights of snow, fog and farms. I hopped out of the car every hundred yards or so to capture another photo of the winter wonderland.
This week was going to be a week of water photos, as was posted yesterday. I may intersperse some snow photos (which is just another form of water anyway).

That looks incredibly cold. This shot really captures the temperature like many cannot.
rob, seeing that it's summer where you are, I can imagine how cold you must think it was! It all depends on your tolerance ... the air temperature was in the mid-20s Fahrenheit ... which I think translates to roughly 0 to -5 Celsius. Not too bad for January in the northern U.S.
Beautiful James! Lovely softness :)
jem,
Thanks! I hadn't seen fog like this since my time spent in the mountains last summer. It's a lovely effect.
