The Snow Moon did bring a heavy layer of that white stuff and as the sun set on the new snow, the moon rose again to brighten the white ground as night fell.

The sun was out today and my cats were playing outside although Trouble looked a little cranky walking on the cold snow.

It isn’t just my imagination that it seemed rather cloudy this month in my area as the records kept at the U of M St. Paul Campus Climate Observatory documented the least amount of solar radiation for a January since the records began 1963.

A few snowflakes fell this afternoon and so it was another gray day but a year ago, the last week of January was a very cold one with -55 wind chills and the high stayed below zero. This icy and snowy scene has a frigid look even with the sun out.

The clouds remained thick again today making it seem like the gray days of November instead of January but maybe the sun will shine more in February.

There may some adventurers who took a winter hike through the woods as the temperature neared the freezing point today, but the snow was melting some which made the paths a bit soft and slippery in spots.

The sunlight this morning highlighted the sparkles from the fluffy flakes from the last snowfall. But my squirrels have been messing up the shiny snowflakes as they stomp down trails from the trees to my bird feeders.

After the snow stopped falling, the breeze picked up and blew the snow off the trees to make it look like the snow was falling from the skies again. Stronger winds caused blowing and drifting, including a drift across my driveway that I have to shovel again.

The cats may have more fun playing in the snow than mine ‘playing’ which is shoveling and blowing that cold white stuff.

A couple of light snowfalls in the last two days have coated the trees again with a white dusting of snow and it sounds like they will get additional layers of that white stuff in the coming days.
