Shot at Radford University on Feb. 20, 2012 after the first snowfall of the year.

We got our first snowfall in the New River Valley on February 19. On the 20th, my office opened three hours late so I used the "driving in the snow" skills I honed in Minnesota to venture to Bisset Park in Radford to take pictures.

I have never seen anything so pretty… it was like the whole world was covered in four inhces of frosting.

The PersonaliPeas had so much fun making their first snowman, they decided to get up early and make a GIANT snowman.

It's peaposterous how big that snowman is!

The PersonaliPeas made a snowpea but their lack of planning meant there was nothing to use for eyes and a mouth.

The first (and probably only) snowfall of the year happened on a Sunday. Hooray! We took about a 2.5-mile walk down the Huckleberry Trail with lots of little side ventures to get some photos. By the time climbed out (if you've been on the trail, you know what I mean), visibility was probably between .10 and .25. Always travel with a plastic baggie.
