I wonder if there is a contest among the critters to see who will be the first to leave tracks in the fresh snow.
Fresh Tracks

With the rain and snow the past weeks, it has been a little scary opening some doors to the outside when the temperature is near freezing and the snow pack start slide off the roofs. While standing under the curling wave of snow, you can almost picture yourself surfing inside a large wave tunnel. But instead you listening for any signs that the snow is going to break off and hit you on the head.
Curling Hanging Snow

The trees were coated with ice and heavy wet snow and it wasn’t just pine tree limbs touching the ground this morning. It was no fun shoveling all the heavy snow again but at least no high winds.
More White Stuff

It stayed below freezing today so not much melting today, but at least no additional white stuff since I am tired of shoveling snow.
Cattails in Winter

It is a good thing these deer are not Santa’s reindeer because the way they are covered in snow, Santa’s sleigh might not get off the ground.

With another 8 inches of snow overnight, my poor trees are hanging down even more and the top is tipping over with the weight of the snow. Even the birds are scared to land on the snow laden branches and they have to fly inside to the center of the tree to find a branch without snow to perch on.
Too Much Snow

Mother Nature wanted to make sure I knew it was the first day of winter as the temperature this morning was -11 and more snow was falling by midmorning as a winter storm warning was issued for today.
Winter Begins Again

The snow ended overnight and by morning it had clear with the temperature below zero again as the glow from the sun reflected on the new layer of snow. And with the very cold crisp air, when the sun rose a little higher, sun dogs appeared around the sun.

The sun was out for a short time this morning before it clouded up and starting snowing again. So the poor trees will get an additional layer of that white stuff on their limbs again.
Before More Snow

The skies finally cleared and the sun shone down on the white landscape. The wind and sun caused some of the snow to come off the higher branches. But the clear skies also ushered in some below zero temperatures too.
Blue and White and Cold
