This morning was one of those snow-crunching, lung-burning, clear, sunny, and COLD mornings here in Oswego. The temperature was -1 at my house, which was pretty warm compared to other communities. Lake Ontario keeps us "warm" in the winter and cool in the summer. Fortunately, I had my camera in my purse today. On my way to work I couldn't help but make some detours to take some morning pictures. The Varick Dam, on the Oswego River, was breathtaking. The sun had just come up and mist was rising off the river just below the falls.
The pictures are beautiful but also a bit eerie looking.
It was so cold, the steam station started up today. The only time we see it running is in extreme cold or heat. It was stunning against the gray-blue sky. You can see where the sky was darker out over the lake - behind the stacks, where there was a band of snow.
