Photo of the Day: January 28, 2009

The first real snow of winter, naturally, requires an appropriately snowy Photo of the Day. Flickr user spectreman (who also gave us our image for the Morning Roundup today) took some great shots outside yesterday. We're happy to see that someone stayed outside long enough to build a proper snowman, complete with a bow-tie and cape outfit and Bic pencil arms, especially now that the snow and ice are already melting outside (I can hear it crashing from the overhangs outside my window). The blueish tone makes it look that much colder. EXIF.
