One foot of snow that was both fluffy and sticky fell on December 10, 2009.
Even the slenderest branches were piled under inches of soft snow. I didn’t start taking pictures until later in the day, after much of the snow had already fallen off the trees, but it was still very pretty.
The wind caused large clumps of fluffy snow to cascade down and explode in poofs of soft crystalline white.
May God bless you this Winter and always.
These pictures go well with the WordPress snowfall feature.
Pastor Caauwe,
Thank you for your kind comment. Does it ever snow in El Paso?
:)
It has snowed a couple times here already this year, but it usually doesn’t. We get accumulation every few year. It melts pretty quickly, except for a little bit still on the Franklin Mountains. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=162851&id=709331411&l=3f3431c123
As a native El Pasoan, I can attest to the fact that snowfall is rare. I remember only a handfull of times when it happened during the 20 years I lived there. However, living in NE Wisconsin nowadays, I hesitate to call what I experienced “snow.”
