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!
