Beautiful new snow for Christmas

Last night at this time it was 44 degrees, foggy and raining. Tonight there are 5 or 6 inches of new snow and it's 19 degrees. The winds have been whipping everything up all day, so there are 2 foot drifts and bare spots. I got up at 5 AM this morning and it was still warm and raining. At 7 it was cold and snowing. Didn't see it happen, but it must have been dramatic.

At least we have new snow for Christmas.

It's been hard to find new things to comment on in the yard. The birds devour the seed bags regularly, and the number of rabbit tracks increases daily. I didn't really get a chance to try to walk around much in the melted snow yesterday, but its too late for that now. We will have to break a new trail out to the compost pile tomorrow.
