SNOW!

Yes, the entire county closed down today due to snow. Out our way we only had a couple inches, but enough to make the roads a bit slick. Tom is waiting until later in the day to go in. He tried once, but the roads were too treacherous.

Here are a few pictures I sent one of the kids out to take… once the sun came out the snow started melting FAST!

The first is the medlar tree by the front door, now pruned (you can see the fresh cuts from last week), looking toward the driveway and the neighbor’s on the north:

Here is the chestnut, again with abundant snow on the lower branches, but the lovely fluffy snow that had been on the twigs had all fallen off:

Last but not least, a picture taken toward the sun, showing the sparkling ice that coated the branches briefly as the snow began to melt:
