January Snow

Sunday Morning

Morning has broken - and it's still snowy (back view)

There was more snow overnight, although still not large amounts.

Snow sticking to the back yard maple tree

The snow was quite sticky, and hung onto the trees and shrubs with much vigour. This is the Japanese Maple in my back yard.

Snow sticking to the back yard rose bush

A somewhat blurry view of one of my rose bushes (well, shrub more than bush). I trimmed these during autumn.

Looking south west from my bedroom window

Looking south west. My neighbour's fish pond is not frozen over, which would not be good for the fish.

Close Up

Barberry bushes, with snow and red berries from summer

The barberry bushes still have berries on them, which is not exactly what I expect at this time of year. But I suspect it's too hard for the birds to reach them, given the thorns. And, of course, the wet snow was sticking to the bushes.

Snow sticking to Eleagnus leaves

Snow falling on Eleagnus. Not exactly the name of a best seller, and this snow has stopped falling anyway. But it sure is sticking to the Eleagnus leaves.

Snow sticking to Eleagnus leaves

Much snow was sticking to the leaves, and the fence too!

Later in the Day

Melted snow which has frozen on an Eleagnus leaf

By Sunday afternoon, the snow was melting, as can be seen in this photo. Although that is ice on the end of this leaf.

It snowed again as the evening progressed, and was snowing again when I went to bed.
