Linville River Area before the Big Storm
As a major winter storm approached, and with a deep blue sky above, I drove north to Linville to see snow and ice, and to gather spruce boughs for the house.
Mill Timber Creek along Highway 221 was partially frozen in the 16 degree temperatures. Recent snows were still in the shadows and along the bank.
If you were wondering about the evergreens I brought back, here is great specimen of Balsam Spruce, already in water on my kitchen table. It will last for three months.

Hope you stay in and safe! Not looking forward to ice, hope to have some snow. Nancy
