It seems to have been quite a snowy year so far in Europe, and I'm sure there is plenty of the white stuff in the northern US and Canada!

2. You may enter 3 images for the week, either all in one post or in separate posts.
3. Add the #wiwcontest tag to each entered image
4. Upvote this post, so that we can spread the word and earn some more SBD for the prize money. ONLY THOSE UPVOTING THIS POST WILL QUALIFY TO WIN.
