Early last evening it started to snow: huge fluffy flakes that immediately stuck to everything they touched. It's wasn't long before it was the proverbial winter wonderland in the garden. I kept turning on the deck lights so I could enjoy the view. We got about 3.6 inches of snow, which may be the biggest storm of this very quiet winter. Here are a few shots of what it looks like this morning. At the moment, big clumps of snow are falling from the highest trees, knocking snow off the middle layer on its way down.

It's the same scene here, and I will say, it is beautiful. And since it's not too cold out it's not even all that intolerable. Beautiful photos!

The pictures are lovely, but I will let you know that it approached 80 here today.

Now this is what winter is supposed to look like. We have had only fierce winds today. Brrrr

How beautiful! we're supposed to get 4 to 8 inches overnight; I hope I wake up to this sight.

Glad you got some lovely winter shots. That snow was rain by the time I made it home to Evanston from a conference further north near WI border. Almost all the winter photos I have look like March...
