Snow!

 

 

This is how it started this morning.

 

 

Before long it looked liked this.

 

 

By late afternoon the branches were heavy with snow.

There was not a lot of accumulation on the ground because it was heavy and slushy.

 

 

Cerwin was concerned about our young sunset maple, so removed the snow with a long branch trimmer.

 

 

This is how it looked when he was finished.

 

 

It certainly did look like a midwinter day.

 

 

 

 

It was interesting to watch snow and leaves falling at the same time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think this was one of the first times I heard snow thunder. At first we thought snow was sliding off our roof, but when going outside the snow was still there. Then we heard the local weatherman say that the rumbling we heard was snow thunder.

 

 

We haven’t even had a heavy frost yet, so some of our flowers are still blooming.

 

 

It certainly was a pretty snow.

 

 

 

 

Remember the spider and web I featured a few days ago? This is what the web looked like today – but I couldn’t find the spider.

 

 

I expect she is in hibernation on a day like this.
