What a Winter

This is the most snow, or number of snows (4 so far), we've seen around here in years, so I guess we're due.  The snow and all the rain we had this fall and winter has offset the years of drought, and brought the water levels up to normal or above.  That's a good thing.  It was getting scary when the weeks and months went by without measurable rainfall.  Even though we only got an inch or so this time, it made for some really good pictures.

 

These are the seed pods from our Poplar tree, filled with snow.  They look like snow cones.

The snow came with the night, and the day dawned clear, but it was still cold and windy.  Thankfully, though, it was not like last Wednesday with 50+ mph winds.  We do pick great days to car shop!
