23 Times Snow Transformed Minnesota Into The Most Beautiful Scenery
Finally Minnesota has a fresh layer of snow, and it’s about time! For the past month we’ve been dealing with the post-fall crash when the leaves are gone and the snow hasn’t yet blanketed the state, turning it into a winter wonderland. So, to honor the beginning of another season full of beautiful views that you just can’t find in the warmer states, here are 23 amazing photos of Minnesota when the snow completely transformed the land into phenomenal scenery.
The forests are a magical place in the winter, and you'll often find yourself walking or skiing surrounded by complete silence.
It's places like this that are usually left alone that are so much fun to photograph.
But be cautious because all that snow and ice is blindingly beautiful.
Finding a serene, snowy area in the middle of a crowded city can only happen in MN.
Even the scenery reflected back is the same blissful color.
And it's that much better during the sunset!
And the fact that we have heating to look forward to inside!
Especially under an equally gorgeous cover of clouds.
This Thanksgiving photo shows how the North Shore will just get better and better as it gets colder and colder.
The likes of which only Minnesotans get to experience for a full season each year.
Combined with the sunlight, it's looking like the most peaceful moment in time.
Eventually, the water shows up, but only after some equally impressive ice blocks.
And the rushing water adds amazing contrast to the areas where the river has frozen solid.
Nothing beats the sunset reflecting off the untouched areas of the snow.
The clouds create an awesome reflection in the river, and tell of the snow that's still to come.
And with a coat of snow, it's even more mystical than usual.
This time we can see the waves crashing fiercely against the rocks and ice.
Nothing makes us happier than some fresh powder.
In Houston county, there are many more amazing shots to be captured!
But the snow sure doesn't hurt the look.
The little sun peeking through makes this photo possible, and so stunning.
And it looks like there's more on the way!
This winter wonderland is definitely open for the season.
And as we get more and more snow, hopefully you can all get inspired to bundle up and head outside with your cameras to capture some of the most fantastic scenery of the year. When you snap those magical winter moments, be sure to share them with us on the Only In Minnesota Facebook Page for a chance to be featured on the page, or in some of our winter posts!
