Nature Signs of winter

Had two shots from Friday already in the "signs of fall" thread... But looking at those together with the ones from Saturday I guess I'm kidding myself if I think these are signs of fall :hiding:

Temperatures dropped rapidly this week. And so did most leaves. :(

taken on Saturday afternoons walk:

here temps went down to 20°F for the last two nights. It's supposed to go up to 30s and 40s again this week. With rain.
I'd rather have quite cold and sunny than mildly cold and wet... but it's Oregon after all (and the E-M5 and 1 fortunately can take both options :) )
 
took my camera and the dogs on an icy walk this morning. Nearly slipped and broke the camera. It went into my down coat pocket after that.

Those are some neat shots, but it's technically not winter yet.:rolleyes:
 
Signs of winter...

1. You stop in to a bar on the way home for a beer "because it's cold and I need to warm my toes up."

4. All the park benches are empty because it's too cold to sit still outside.
