Snowy Cotton Ball

Here in New Jersey, it seems we don’t get “nice” snow storms any more…usually just wet, icy snow. However, in December 2009, we actually got a pretty good one – about 8-10 inches of nice light snow (easy to shovel). The bonus was that it started snowing on a Saturday afternoon. This allowed everyone to do their errands in the morning and just sit back and enjoy the beautiful snowfall later in the day. I went out the next morning and cleared the walkway and stayed out for a bit longer to take pictures.

This photo was taken behind my garage. Snow had fallen inside of the remnants of flower buds and stayed there like a perfectly fluffy cotton ball. Good thing I went out to shovel early as this may have melted in another hour or so.
