Our First Big Snowstorm of the Year

January 18, 2019 Leave a Comment

The day before our first big snowstorm of the 2018/2019 season, we experienced a full day of freezing rain. As a result, the snow that had fallen stuck to the trees very nicely. This was the perfect formula for great photography, but not so much for the trees. Especially not our white birch trees. They transformed into bent arches all over the yard. We shook as much of the snow off the birches as we could, but the ice layer had prevented a full recovery. There was also about a foot and a half of snow on the ground and with a combination of the frigid cold and another big storm coming, the snow isn’t going to be disappearing anytime soon. I captured the following photographs at different times throughout the day. Some of the photographs were taken from around the house, our road and back in the woods, behind the house. I will also share photographs from the day after this snowstorm in my next post. Winter has definitely made its appearance and I don’t think it will be over any time soon.
