The clouds parted just before noon and the sun shone down on a new carpet of white, but it was snow on a cold day and not daisies soaking up the summer warm rays.

The sun did peek out this afternoon but not enough to get the temperature above freezing so no snow melted and the ground is covered with a lot more white than from this fallen trees.

The male northern cardinal is easier to spot against the white snow, but I rather see him hidden in the green grass of warmer days instead.

The sunny day allowed the temperatures to briefly reached the freezing mark and the birds seem enjoy it as this chickadee lined up waiting for his turn at the bird feeder.

Last night five deer were playing on the ice at my pond but at least the new snow froze on the day’s earlier melting snow preventing the ice from being very slippery so the deer didn’t fall on the ice like they did last winter.

While the pine trees limbs waved more to dislodge the snow, some remained on the tree branches for a few extra days before melting. If there was any snow left on the limbs, the predicted winds tonight probably would blow it off.

The sun was shining on the pine trees and the snow, but with wind chills below zero today, it was chilly out and not as warm as this August scene of green and white.

The trees were coated in white this morning, but the strong winds caused most of the limbs to shake off the snow except for in areas somewhat protected from the gusts.

The snow fell all day so you might have wanted stay inside and sit by a warm stove instead of shoveling that cold white stuff.

The colorful sunrise did not reflect off the few remaining patches of snow, but the grass will be covered in again with that white stuff by tomorrow and probably will remain hidden under the cold coat until spring.
