Smoky Sky

Our neighbor was burning off some of his land, filling the afternoon sky with heavy smoke.

Clouds Moved In

Clear sky most of the day, but clouds moved in quickly late afternoon.  South wind increased to gusty too.  (Neighbor's pasture and newest stock pond taken on our afternoon walk.)

Wednesday's Snow

Snow in the pines.

Snow began falling Tuesday evening.  It continued off and on throughout the early morning on Wednesday, and even for a little while after daybreak.  A wet, sticky snow combined with a calm wind quickly "flocked" the trees.  Early morning fog added to the effect.  All totaled, around two inches of snow fell. 

Our neighbors stock pond is about a half mile up the road.

This was an "ideal" snowfall.   The snow fell from the sky.  We saw beautiful snow scenes.  Then, the sky cleared and the sun shone brightly.  Virtually all snow was gone by day's end.  Nice.

The same stock pond nine hours later.
