Not Quite Officially Winter

 Lake Simcoe at Virginia Beach

I guess it depends on whether you think December 1st is the first day of winter OR the Winter Solstice is (this year December 21at 12:11 pm) .

It sure looks like winter here! Close to Lake Simcoe's shore is covered in ice, not thick, mind you, but definitely ice.  It's actually quite pretty when the light is good or sort-of good.

Wintery Weather

Largest square: Virginia Beach (L. Simcoe). Moving clockwise: stairs to a dock on the Trent-Severn Waterway; reflection of boathouse in Beaverton Harbour (L. Simcoe); Starling eating grapes on the shore on Jordan Harbour (L. Ontario); weird shaped ice - looks like logs - in Beaverton Harbour (L. Simcoe); and swirling snow on ice in Virginia Beach (L. Simcoe).
