Sometimes it just doesn't make good horse sense to venture out on a snowy winters day. I can't say much because I was out taking photos. Different strokes as they say.

Oh my Tick, this is really lovely! I am not a fan of snow and ice, but this a beautiful image. Very nice work and well worth the cold feet and nose!

A picture is worth a thousand words!! Not many people would venture out in weather like this in a horse and buggy, got to give it to the Amish to remind us how modern conveniences we are so use to:) Outstanding shot Tick!! Were you on foot or in a warm car?

The driver might want to think of putting on some snowshoes and snow tires to help get through the drifts. Is this some cost-cutting method being tried out by the postal service?
A great looking scene, Tick. A nice DoF and contrasts in the image. Best of luck in the contest.
