Accumulating snows don’t happen every winter in these parts, so even after all this time, it’s still a novel notion for this man born of lower latitudes to explore them, my aversion to the cold temporarily set aside. The very wet, heavy snowfall adhered not only to the ground, but to the windward (north) sides of trees and buildings like this. The scene after a night shift reminded me of another snowy morning shot from a few yards away, very nearly five years before, and a foggy morning essentially from the same spot (but not kneeling as I was here) slightly over 13 years prior, when the tree at left was much smaller.
