While we've had more snow this winter than last, it still hasn't seemed like very much. One night this week, we got a few unexpected inches. I read later in the day that the freak storm had dumped two feet of snow in some towns just 15 miles from here. Truly odd.
This storm produced light and slightly sticky snow in mostly windless conditions. This leads to some of the most amazing early-morning tree art. This photo doesn't even really do it justice --- the trees become blank, black canvases for paintings in white. How do you do it, Mother Nature?
And it's a temporary installation. By mid-day minute temperature changes cause the snow to fall. You look again, and it's gone.
