When I got out of bed yesterday morning and tweaked the curtains open, what a sight lay before my eyes. The snow (all four+ inches of it) had stuck to the everything in sight and turned my yard into a Winter Wonderland. It was cold though, so we started a fire in the stove to ward off the below freezing chill. eBay can attest to how cozy the fire made the sun room.

As the sun made its way up I grabbed my camera and headed outside.

The wet snow had fallen without the aid of wind or even a breeze, allowing it to stick to and pile up on everything. Even our clothesline!

As the sun rose higher, the sky turned a brilliant blue.

And the moon shared the sky with the sun.

Before the snow, our weather had really been warm for quite some time so the snow didn’t stick as much to our driveway and we didn’t even have to use the snowblower. Rick did move some snow that had stuck right in front of our garage and I did have to shovel the front steps, but all-in-all it was a lovely first snow without much impact. It didn’t get warm enough yesterday to do much melting and the trees are still wearing most of their winter white clothing this morning. Today’s temperature is predicted for mid 30’s and by Wednesday we may get rain, so our snow won’t last much longer. I’m certainly enjoying it while it’s here!

Lovely photos! I think I’d like to move into your sunroom. LOL!

It is SO not fair!!  I’m very jealous.  Oh, by the way—-I’m ordering snow for Christmas in NJ/NY.  Make it happen!!!

Mary, it’s a great place to knit!

Ah, the sister speaks! Bigsis, the weather never listens to me but I’ll see what I can do.

so pretty.  the blue sky with the white snow…wow.  glad you got some snow you could enjoy.  still snowing in Fort Collins.  we are expecting an additional 8 - 16” from this current storm (official snowfall for this winter is at 44.2 inches - and its not even winter yet)

Debra: WOW. I am ashamed by our measly four inches now! Really? In the Fort? 44.2 inches? Ya know, of course, it’s because I love snow and don’t live there anymore. Seems like wherever I am the snow is not. Hey, I could rent myself out!

Lovely photos of a beautiful day!

How beautiful! I love the moon in the last photo.

Jan, thank you!

Jane, thanks. The moon was special!

But we don’t have that pretty blue sky.  I finally was able to see the mountains late this afternoon.  Its cold…very cold.  A 4” snow is nothing to sneeze at.  Lots of years that would have been a lot around here.

that second photo is just lovely lynne.
