1st snow of 2006

A view from the mailbox gazebo displays a seasonal flag against the backdrop of snow-coated trees, a result of the New Year's Eve snowfall that lasted well into the first morning of 2006.

Nadine Thompson tried to get her house to "smile" for the camera when she ventured out on New Year's Day afternoon to try her new toy.

Wet snow weighed down the branches of many of the Terrace's thick pines. This view between Nos. 6 and 7 is typical of the aftermath.
