So John (Clute) asked if I was ready for the snow — see comments on last week’s post. Yes! On Tuesday we got dumped on again with 8 inches of sticky wet snow. Wednesday we were greeted by snow sculptures in the trees. Here is our Blue Spruce.
[Note: I seem to have got ahead of myself. This is actually week 13 and not week 14… The Crane Festival must have messed with my internal calendar!]

Our neighbor’s bushes were groaning under the weight of all that snow. The branches were drooping over the fence under the weight of all that snow.
Drooping Under The Weight
One of our Burning Bushes had accumulated some snow on delicate branches. A far cry from the burning red foliage that we see with the fall colors.

Wednesday was a snow day for many in the metro area. For me, it was a regular work day for me. Here are those frozen balls. What a contrast to last week’s post of the same balls in the morning sun!

The bicycle rack at the light rail station was the most impressive feature of the day — an unusual snow sculpture.

The ramp leading to the train has a pattern cut into the fence. The snow picked out the detail in the pattern.
Relief In Snow
The sunny bench greeted us with a Good Morning!

Finally, close to the office, these trees were reflected in the pond.

Enjoy.
