Jazzcat asked for some pictures of winter from Anchorage, Alaska in this thread. So, here they are for your enjoyment.

Frosty birch trees

And, to make this pet related, here's Pepper being "helpful" as usual. When I opened the window to take photos (because it's too darn cold to go outside!), Pepper leaped to the top of the second-story window and attempted yet another of her death-defying acts of balance. Since I already had the camera in my hands, I quickly snapped the picture then ran for a ladder to pull her down. She's now sulking and pouting since I ruined her fun and I'm looking for bandaids.
