Friday, Nika & I took our little walk-a-bout. Yesterday, was a horrid colored day! Mild, the snow still melting, but the sky was a leaden gray. Literally the darkest color I'd ever seen. The staff at Bomgaars commented on it when we were in.
Late evening, the snow started. Tiny pieces, but very wet. It was freezing to the branches of the trees, with the temperature hovering right at freezing.

Our total accumulation probably isn't over two inches, but it is heavy! As slushy as any western, WA snow! Not the powdery light snows we've had so far. The wind is staying in the teens, it's enough to make it feel colder.
As you can tell from the photos, it stuck to everything! That made for an incredible beautiful landscape! I was thankful that it wasn't heavy enough to break branches.

The Cabin has an east/west exposure. I've decided that it makes
no difference which way your home might face! With the wind gusts coming from every direction, everything gets wet.

Such a totally different looking world from just two-days ago! Now the forecast is for more snow this afternoon & a big drop in temperatures going into next week.

Everyone was out shoveling, or snow blowing, or plowing. Hoping to stay ahead of the next accumulation.

The views are all white & so stunning. The Walnut is holding up well, with the additional weight of the layer of ice. Tonight we're supposed to drop to 21, with daytime
highs this coming week in the mid-20's.

Butch is
so happy that I'm putting decorations right in the way of his insulating & wiring work :-) It's fun for me to see my favorite little tree up again!
