Our New Year's Eve rain turned into snow making for a bit of a slippery commute home for folks who had to work and for revelers like ourselves heading out to evening parties. We made brief appearances at two celebrations but were home in bed by 10 p.m.
Next morning we were up at 6 a.m. on New Year's Day doing final prep for our annual brunch. Mark also spent an hour clearing the driveway of snow. But the garden looked spectacular. These photos were all taken from inside as we didn't want to spoil the scene with footprints.
When snow begins as rain it tends to be heavy and wet which makes it stick to all the trees and shrubs. It also can weigh them down dangerously. It's snowing again right now but temps are supposed to rise enough in the next few days that I don't think anything in the garden will suffer permanent damage.
We're enjoying this snowy scene as long as it lasts.
Can you spot the Tea House behind all those snow-covered branches?
