Before you even peek at this week's assignment*, you must realize I live on the South Texas coast. We can wear shorts and flip-flops most days of the year. We get down to freezing maybe once a year, and rarely a hard freeze.
This year, however, we are experiencing a bit of a proper winter. Freezing temperatures! In the daytime! Chance of freezing precipitation! These things are just unheard of down here.
For this week's theme, "signs," I decided to document a sign of the winter weather we are in the midst of at the moment. This was taken close to noon. And if you are in the frozen north, please don't make fun of me and how my thin blood marvels at our little cold snap. :)
Head on over to Jayme Franklin's blog, All About Pebbles and BamBam to see what she has done with signs.
*In case you have missed it, I am part of a group of photographers doing a year-long project. Each week, there is an assigned theme. On Fridays, we post our interpretation of the theme, then link to another photographer in the group. You can take a little journey from blog to blog, see some inspiring and creative work, and get to know new people.
Burr...That is cold! We are at 19 degrees this morning and it feels like a heat wave! Last week we were at -35 degrees with the wind chill. That was sooo cold. Love the picture...

I'm in the same boat here in South Florida. I hate to even say it, but we've been in the 70's and even 80's all week.

Great idea! YES... I'm in TX, too, and the weather has been so cold this year. Plus, we woke up to snow this morning! :)

Obviously, my California blood just shivers when I look at your picture. It was 50 (yes, i know 50) yesterday and I was wearing a parka! Great sign!

I feel for you guys in this weather... I LOVE living in the mild Northwest! I doubt we'll even get any snow accumulation this year! Wish I could come play with you for at least one day.

I'm not laughing because I know there is a difference between dry cold and humid cold!!! Stay warm, and buy lots of hot chocolate.
