We got snow: about 6 inches of very fine sugar-snow. Well, it settled to about 6 inches. It was very cold and instead of the fluffy powder of a 20 degree snowfall, the fine snow and a bit of wind caused it to compact and be unexpectly heavy. This was new to me and I was surprised shoveling the little bit I shovel as well as surprised by the plow leavings.

But it is beautiful and especially this morning as the sun came out with perfectly clear “not a cloud in the sky” skies.

But cold! This morning started at 7F.

Auggie went out…briefly and then retreated to his cozy sunroom chair.

Bear and I had our walk but he did not hesitate to come in when we returned.

Ice on the hanging moss twinkled like crystals as the sun rose.

And at lunchtime, the sun hit Beardog point.
