Snow for Premonition of Plenty Year (풍년 예감을 주는 눈)

 Korean people use to say that the winter with much snow falling brings fruitful and plenty year.  I understand it means much snow should make plenty of water which is absolute condition for agriculture. And at the same time, much snow would protects all plants of the field from frozen to death especially for barley and wheat.  Anyhow, much snow in this winter brought me back to the memory of childhood very delightfully.

 

Such beautiful snow flower brings me back always to my remembrance of child days where I had grown up in the home country. There was and still is big big snow fall in every winter in my home town.  Almost through the winter till the first spring every where was covered with snow. However, this photo has been contributed by my staff.
