Still snowed in

Not in the mood for much photography today.  All I want to do is sit by the fire and get my new laptop (thanks, Santa!) set up.  Here are a couple of quick shots, however, both intended to show the power of the wind that is howling outside our house.  One is a scene of the snow drifts on our screened in porch and the other is an image of the abstract patterns the blowing snow has made on our driveway.  It didn't turn out exactly as I had imagined it, but since I froze getting the shot I decided to post it anyway.
