Winter Wonderland

The weekend before Thanksgiving we were gifted with a glorious, wet, snowstorm. It started out as a foggy, rainy, sleety storm but it ended up dumping almost a foot of the wettest snow I've ever seen.
If you stepped in it, a pool of water formed around your foot. If you tried to shovel it, you were trying to move water with a shovel. And it was H E A V Y!
Around town, many trees paid a heavy price, losing branches and some even gave up the ghost. Part of town lost electricity when a tree took down a power line.
It was reported that at Camp Jackson on the Mountain there were 2 feet of snow and in that was 4 inches of water. The newspaper reported that after that one storm Monticello was at 324% of normal for the water year. Granted the water year had just begun in October. But it's a good beginning.

What a glorious scene...

The mountain in hiding...

I love it when a storm comes softly and gently enough to 'frost' the trees and houses. I love looking out my front windows onto a Winter Wonderland.

Check out the snow on the top of all the signs and rails. Unusual to see that in windy Monticello.
