The Snow Report and Leaf Report for today

First, the Snow Report:

This snow first arrived on Sunday, and usually the first flakes melt away within a few hours, to be replaced by yet more rain. Didn't happen this week.  It's still up there. Is this an omen? Or just a fact?

Now, for the Leaf Report:

That 'fire tree' maple is still 'lookin' good' especially when the sun's on it.

 And at their nearby excuse for a 'high-rise' another colorful couple of trees, along with a cloud of rising exhaust from the heating system indicating it's quite chilly out there as this was taken. (About 44 F) The Bikini Season is over....and it's now almost time for the Snow Bunnies to exercise their tail-wagging muscles doing their thing on the nearby alpine. Already? Yep! Time flies when you're having fun.
