Today is the start of meteorological winter, which is the three coldest months of the year. And with the additional snow today, it definitely looks like a white winter.
Start of Winter

The sun hasn’t melted all the snow off the trees yet and definitely not off my roof. Even shaking some of the limbs wouldn’t dislodge the snow from the tree branches.

The clear skies allowed the temperatures to drop again but it also highlighted the fresh snow as it sparkled in the sunshine.

I looked like the Abominable Snowman when I came in from clearing the snow from the driveway for the second day in a row. Between the snow which was still falling and the snow blowing around, I was covered in that white stuff from head to toe. And when the wind picked up, the snow from the upper boughs crashed down creating an avalanche.
More Winter White

The new year blew in some cold air to start the new year and month on a chilly note, but hopefully if the forecast is correct, the arctic blast won’t last more than a few days.

With a new layer of snow overnight, the rodent was correct that winter is still here and the poor pine trees are going to forget that they are supposed to be green and not white.

That rodent was right, at least about winter being around for a while, as more snow fell today, putting a new layer of that white stuff all over everything.
Another Snowy Day

A change definitely arrived overnight, from 57 yesterday afternoon to -3 wind chill this morning plus a icy white coating covering the landscape. Although not a lot of snow, the switch from rain to snow also brought a time of ice too, so a lot of branches were coated and hanging lower to the ground.

The day started below freezing but at least the sun came out for those planting trees this Arbor Day. But those new little trees will take a while to reach high into the sky. I actually un-planted a bitternut tree (or at least a nut) when I was planting my flowers and discovered the nut that they chipmunks had buried in my flower pot.

The sun managed to peek out this afternoon, lighting up the new snow and brightening the trees including the pine cones still hanging on.
