Now that we’ve had our first dose of winter precipitation in parts of the state, maybe we should remind ourselves of just how beautiful winter can be in Nebraska. These ordinary scenes (shot in previous winters) became extraordinary with the addition of a bit of snow.

1. The Scottsbluff National Monument in November 2014.

The snowy, foggy day just makes the scene seem magical.
2. Is the sun going up or down in this picture?

Either way, it's the perfect backdrop for these snow-dusted trees.
3. A little tree stands strong in the snow in Chadron.

4. These snow-covered trees look so welcoming.

Wouldn't this be the perfect place for a snowball fight?
5. This tree's drooping spines are weighed down by the frost.

They almost look like yarn.
6. A snowy road awaits you in Ord.

Just be careful going around that bend!
7. The first snow of the year at Hamann Rose Garden in Lincoln.

The snow stuck to the grass but not the brick path, making a contrasting spiral on the ground.
8. The road to Chadron is long and straight.

...And covered in a thin blanket of snow.
9. This lonely house near Fremont looks lonelier in the snow.

10. Snow makes this bridge in Chautauqua Park in Beatrice really stand out.

This looks like the perfect place to take a portrait of a couple!
11. Another bridge, this one in Ord.

It turns out that bridges look pretty amazing in the snow.
12. The sun rises over a snowy field and a big, strong tree.
