The iceroad on the lake looks dreamy! We had a good 6 week run of real winter here, too. Thanks for the reminder to look for beauty in the transitions, whether welcome or not.
It's February 27th, and Csermely and I spent more than two hours out in the garden this afternoon, cutting back the perennials, removing spent horseradish leaves and doing a general cleanup. Then we sat out in the sun. It's 15°C (59°F) at the moment and we saw a fuzzy caterpillar roaming about, loads of flies, moths, several spiders and a couple of bees looking around for something "to do" in the heat. Usually it is snowy and cold, but this winter has been unseasonably dry. There is a beauty to this strange weather that allows us to spend more time outside, but it's unnerving all the same.

Well said, Cheryl! Beauty of its own, but also unnerving.
