Winter is Here

Our 6 weeks of winter has started!  We have 9" of snow on the railing. I think we got more, but the snow is wet and heavy. 

I have never seen snow this deep on small tree branches before.

I like this shot. It is not out of focus. 

Either it was misting a light snow or snow was being blown from the trees. 

I'm surprised we don't have more limbs down than we do.

I love snow in the pine trees!

Winter Wonderland this weekend!

We lost electric at 6 tonight.  3 hours later, I am seeing the electric trucks drive by, shining lights up at the lines, trying to see where the problem is.  I have seem them drive by 3 times in the last 15 minutes.  I hope that doesn't mean they don't know where the problem is.
