Scant Snow.

1-6-17 SHORT HILLS: The last two days have been colder, and last night we got almost an inch of snow. It looks best in the morning when all the trees and shrubs are sprinkled with white, but by now, mid-afternoon, they’re snow free.

I saw an article about a Swedish nurse who skied solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole, pulling a sled with supplies, and setting a record for time. On the return trip she’s using a kite to pull herself along. Amazing. Link below:

Catch the snow in the early morning and all the trees are dusted.

It's not too deep at less than an inch.

You can see why deciduous trees do better than evergreens.
