Snow can be very destructive in the garden, as the weight can snap branches. Fortunately no damage for me, but some pretty sights.
The Korean Dogwood, with snow instead of leaves.
The view out the dining room window - the Eleagnus bushes are flexible, and could not support the snow, so they were flattened.
The Eleagnus bushes from outside. Looks even worse. But they recovered quite well.
A close up of the dogwood tree's snow accumulations.
The side of my house, with the Deal's fotinia under snow.
By 4 PM, the Eleagnus were recovering nicely, as the snow was melting pretty quickly - a nice feature of most snow falls here in Seattle!
