This was just a very quiet and gentle fall of snow. It was pleasant. Even the shoveling was easy.

| This stump with the roof gives a measure of the snow. |

| The yard light is loaded with snow. I wish I could say the snow bent the lamp but it didn't. |

glad you had a nice snow fall! looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNew snow falls are always clean and fresh.
DeleteThere will always be something magical about snow for those of us who experience very little of it.
ReplyDeleteA good word to use...magical.
DeleteYou got more! I'm STILL waiting. We had 70 degrees this weekend. I'm thinking the robins will begin showing up before we really have any winter here!
ReplyDelete70 is unbelievably! My daughter lives near Chicago and they've been getting similar weather.
DeleteSo pretty! We just had our January thaw. Supposed to get a little snow this week. We still have a good covering on the ground but it's messy. I want to go cross-country skiiing.
ReplyDeleteThat's what's been nice this winter. We haven't had a thaw at all. The snow has been great for skiing except for the damn leave that are blowing in the trails.
DeleteWe may have ice tomorrow, not the pretty white flakes. I would love to visit snow.
ReplyDeleteYou don't want ice. How terrible.
DeleteI like it when it falls so soft like this.Most around here is melted.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you get some more white stuff before spring.
DeleteIt looks lovely. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteI will always enjoy snow even if I have to shovel it.
DeleteI wish we had it here. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteI would think your winters would be tough with such a variety of rain, ice, cloud, snow and wind.
DeleteIt is always so clean at the very beginning.
ReplyDeleteYou've go that right. Old snow can be very dirty.
DeleteNice light snowfall Red - I like those too. Our 15 inches plus, have been melting in the sun these past few days. Two days of deep fog took a whack of it off the roof. Now the sun is shining today. I like your snow photos - NICE
ReplyDeleteYes 15 - 20 cm of snow here is a lot. You can really get a pile of snow in the Maratimes.
DeleteJust enough snow to be pretty, not enough to be a nuisance. Perfect, Red! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell it's manageable.
DeleteBeautiful snow! Happy trails!
ReplyDeleteCheers from Cottage Country!
Yes I had some good trails for skiing.
Deletevery pretty!! we have icey sleet in tonights forecast...I'll take snow anyway over that!
ReplyDeleteYou don't want to get sleet. At least your sleet will melt. If we get sleet it's a while before we can get rid of it.
DeleteGreat snow photos, Red. These light, fluffy snow falls can, as you point out, be a real joy. Cross country skiing is part of those good times, and there is no problem keeping warm doing that. Thanks for these posts.
ReplyDeleteYes, cross country skiing is warm. Up until recently I never wore gloves while I skied.
DeleteGreat pictures. We have had a couple of cms here but nothing too serious - yet. Pictures of snow are normally far better than the real thing.
ReplyDeleteCool comment on snow. People seem to have a very idyllic view of snow.
DeleteIt's snowing in Minneapolis as we speak (so to speak). Did you send that?! If so, "thank you". I do love the four seasons!
ReplyDeletePearl
Yes, of course! Usually the storms track south east from here and get bigger as the move. One of the worst storms I was ever in was in Minneapolis. I was stuck in the airport .
DeleteI like the yard light covered with snow, Red. The fresh snow looks fluffy, doesn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteSnow seems to pile up on the yard light even though it is cone shaped.
DeleteRed I like what you said; "When life gives you snow...ski!" That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe had the same snow here in the city, it was a shovel three times kind of day but I have my nephew staying with me for a while and he offered so I graciously let him shovel! :-)
We had ice in our trees, some power lines down, but NO SNOW.The ice in the trees did make the world look like a crystal palace, but so very dangerous. It is all gone now and so is the crystal palace...
ReplyDeleteIce is okay as long as it melts the next day. Here it an take a long time to melt.
DeleteGlad you got snow and such nice snow instead of the nasty stuff...now, please send some our way...thanks
ReplyDeleteOne of these days there will be a grand storm with great energy and lots of moisture and it will hit you. Be sure to catch some pictures.
ReplyDeleteOur snow just went sideways to Wisconsin..you have pretty snow:)
