Heavy, Sticky Snow and a lot of it

We had a significant fall of wet and heavy snow yesterday, which would have been even greater if some of the precipitation had not fallen in the form of rain. Having to make a short run anyway, I then drove the car to two spots less than a mile from our place to shoot a few quick photos.

These are from the park just around the corner. The snow being deep and really wet, I wasn't brave enough to venture into the park but just shot a few pics from the road.

There was almost a whiteout beyond the pond.


In the pond, itself, a few few mallard ducks swam about in the small area that was ice free.



This one tree deserved special attention.


I drove to another spot not far from home and photographed yet another tree, this one at the edge of a parking lot.


With the local streets being snow-covered and rutty, I didn't venture any farther and beat a retreat to home, and there I stayed for the remainder of the day.

Oops . . . I forgot this one, just looking up the road toward the intersection.

You sent it here and a lot of it turned to freezing rain. That’s enough of winter now!

They are so pretty, looking like paintings. Love them! :-)

Lovely snowy photos. I guess it was still snowing, since they are pretty grey and white, can't discern much, but very peaceful.

Yes! Ducks. And the last one really tells the story. We did not get as much rain here, but enough to make shovelling pure hell.

Definitely winter paintings. We got less than one snowstorm and less than an inch and I do envy your beautiful white!!
