Pretty Snowfall Before the Rain

Although it was supposed to start raining and bring us a few days of January thaw, we still got a nice light snowfall last night.  The temperature has gone up, so it stuck to everything, giving you that beautiful appearance.  It appears we will get less rain than in the original forecast, but the temperature is still above freezing.

The snow has compacted, but the fresh snow is clinging to everything.

I love the big Sugar Maple when it looks like this.

Every twig was covered.

And our snow stick has now vanished, though the rabbit trail is still there.

  1. I do enjoy seeing a snowfall where no wind has knocked if off all the limbs and twigs yet. A moment of peace. Not very long lasting, usually.

  2. A rainy drizzle all day here and you may be getting the same. Looking ahead at the 14 day forecast I'm thinking our area and yours may lose quite a chunk of this snow load. That of course is quite alright with me.

  4. It's pretty for certain right after a snowfall. It gets much less so when the melting starts and the snow gets dirty.

  8. Our snow is mostly all gone because of days of warm rain. I'm not unhappy about it, I can walk on the sidewalks instead of the streets.

  9. Snow on the branches does make a photographer happy.
