Some frost remained on the trees this morning and snowflakes added more decoration this afternoon.

Mother Nature added more Christmas decorations in the form of frost this morning. And at times the sky looked like a snow globe when the frost started to fall.

The infant would have needed a lot of blankets to keep warm if born here last night in an open stable with the -25 wind chills. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

The view this morning looked like a scene from the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer television special when the blizzard buries the town. And Rudolph’s nose might not have brighten the way last night in the blowing snow so it is a good thing it is clear tonight for Santa’s sleigh but it will be a cold sleigh ride.

The winter storm is bringing in more snow and high winds so Mother Nature is decorating for Christmas. The burdock dead blossoms almost decorative light blubs.

I don’t think this poor little pine tree is looking forward to more snow tomorrow when the snow earlier this week already had it leaning from the snow covered branches. Although this Charlie Brown tree might safe from being cut for a Christmas tree since it doesn’t appear like more than a branch.

The first day of winter added another coating of snow, with very big flakes at times. But the snowy skies also prevented me from view the ‘Great’ Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn this evening.

It may be the last full day of astronomical autumn, but the snow on the ground and the bare trees has a definite winter look and feel. It will be months before new leaves merge and even longer before the colorful autumn displays reappear.

A new coating of snow covered the ground last evening, but the morning’s wind removed another bit of the autumn as one of the few remaining oak leaves fell and stabbed into the new snow.

The temperature did get above freezing today, and even without sunshine, most of the remaining snow melted. But the snow free ground only lasted a few hours until new snow recovered everything white again. I sure miss the summer flowers already and winter is just starting.
