Now that most grapes have been harvested and many but a few remaining leaves clinging to the vines have fallen, vineyards look cold an uninviting. Just in time, nature takes over and paints an early November picture. A sudden lake effect snow swept through the Lake Erie region of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York on Monday. In it’s wake, vineyards once again captured an elegance showing white against the background of the blue waters from Lake Erie.

An interesting sign in North East, Pennsylvania asked drivers to “drive as though it is winter.”  Although streets were snow covered, the wineries in North East were open and waiting for visitors.
