Here's a little something to get you in the mood for that foot of snow we're supposed to get beginning Tuesday night. (Can't you just hear all the kids praying for a snow day on Wednesday?) This shot of crystals of new snow frozen onto icicles hanging from an Otis Orchards home was taken recently by Spokesman-Review photographer Bart Rayniak. Now the only thing left to do is make sure the snow shovel is ready and the supply of hot chocolate is stocked up.
