The shortest amount daylight will be Tuesday, but today is only nine seconds longer even though the sunset is actually earlier this evening than it will be on the shortest day because on that day, the sunrise is later.

The sunshine today helped melt some of the snow off the tree branches, but the snow was still deep to walk through it.

The hoarfrost might not have adhered to the pine trees compared to the other trees the other morning, but snow from last night piled on the pine branches. The limbs were weighted down from the 14 inches of that white stuff and you didn’t want to be standing under one of those branches when the wind dislodged the snow.

I preferred yesterday’s frosty flakes than the ice and snow today. These hoarfrost flakes were larger than other times and had wonderful patterns when viewed up close.

A frigid night with temperature below zero dawned into a very frosty morning. The frosty flakes sparkled in the chilly sunlight.

More of that white stuff is falling this evening so by morning there may be some more white decorations on the trees.

Overnight Mother Nature decided to decorate for the holidays with a new white coat on the trees.

The string of nights with temperatures in the 20s has formed an ice layer on my pond, but there was a small patch of open water for the morning’s sunrise to leave a pink reflection.

More snow fell overnight so by Sunday morning, my driveway disappeared as it blended in with the rest of the white covered lawn.

The snow is falling and starting to stick to the ground and more is predicted overnight so winter is trying to move in even if I am not ready for it yet.
