Snow is Falling from the Trees!

beulahwintervalleykarin2012I took a walk this lovely blue sky afternoon to enjoy the sunshine and the snowy landscape. The prolific snow that yesterday’s storm delivered was falling off the pines and splattering everywhere. The storm’s 13.6″ of snow was wet, containing 1.29″ of moisture, a delightful and typical spring storm. This brings the winter’s total snowfall to 67.3″. A handful more of these kinds of storms would be most welcome. In spite of the moisture, this storm was not a drought-buster. But it’s wet out there now, and I think it’s fair to say that mud season has officially begun. Here’s to wet snow and mud! (I didn’t have a camera with me, so I am including this lovely photo of Karin Kyte’s to accompany this post.)
