 Paul Read, director of the University of Nebraska's viticulture program, prunes grapevines at a research site in Nemaha County in this 2000 file photo. Read's work at the university since his arrival in 1987 has helped the state's wine-making industry grow from nearly nonexistent to more than a dozen wineries and more than 100 vineyards expected within the next year.

If this image won't get you in the mood for winter weather - and the holiday shutdown - then perhaps nothing will.
