It wasn’t a big snow, by any measure…
A quarter-inch, at best.
But it was lovely, while it lasted…
Sugar-dusted flowers.
Snow-capped leaves.
And the silence that only snow can bring.

We got about 2″ a little farther North from you, and it was gorgeous coming down.
And tomorrow, it’ll be 50. So strange…
Oh ! It is so beautiful !
And I am agree at 100% with your conclusion, except the sound of the feet walking on the snow….
Glad you like the photos, Florence…If you stand still in the snow, sometimes there is no sound at all.
Yes, but I wanted to say : when you walk one foot ant after the other foot, and when there is a thick layer (like 10 days ago in Paris) you can hear a sound like : rouf, rouf or pouf, pouf….and I like too, it’s so funny in comparaison of the silent
That is true!
I love snow!
Happy to share!
Gorgeous pics, our snow has all melted and I’m missing iit already! Had some lovely evening walks back from friends in the snow and the stillness/silence is so lovely isn’t it.
You don’t often have snow, do you? This winter and last have been very mild for us. Normally, we’ve had a foot or so by this time (not all at once), and I’m sick of it. This year, it’s been very pretty, and hasn’t snarled traffic…it can snow a little more, as long as it behaves!
The silence, Marie. That’s what I miss most about our suddenly snowless Winters. Taking Max for a walk around midnight following a snowstorm. Everything is still and even the most minuscule of sounds seem to carry for blocks.
Of course, that means that for miles people can hear Max romping in the snow and barking at absolutely nothing. But never mind that.
I can imagine…I’m only good for the noise of the city for a few days at a time, so the loss of the snow-silence must be felt.
Wait – did you just say you walk Max at MIDNIGHT? In Chicago? You’re a brave man…
love the hydrangea shot.. gorgeous and like you I am grateful for any snow we can get! and now you will warm up I think.. c
50 tomorrow, or so they say! We’ll wait and see…
we seem to have a storm coming in.. i guess I missed something! c
They can sneak up…hope you’re all right this morning!
Beautiful – love the hydrangeas too!
Totally by chance – there was a bird there, when I aimed the first time
Look so beautifully still and serene, even if it is short-lived. I have snow envy again, and envy the silence even more. There is a roaring at 60mph gale here just now, accompanied by horizontal rain. Lovely!
Ah, the joys of Island life!
Gale warnings here for Wednesday night, with possible thunder storms. At least we have the photos to remember it by…
Lovely photos, snow does make the world look beautiful! Our snow is gone now and we’re knee-deep in mud instead.
The snow covers over all the messes, so it just looks clean.
We won’t have Mud Season for a couple of months, when the lower layers of the ground thaw-out.
I wish I was there, you know I wouldn’t have come inside. When my husband and I were living in Copenhagen, every time it snowed I would make him go out in it with me and our first daughter, she was only a baby then. I love your photos, and that last thing you said, I could hear it.
It’s such a beautiful thing – the silence of a snowfall. Even the traffic on the road that I usually hear at that time of day is gone.
Glad to share – hope it helped you cool off a bit, if only in memory
A silent wet winter snow. What you have is the kind we usually get in March or even sometimes April.

Being on the coast, ‘wet’ is normal for us, all winter. We had a foot on the first of April the year I moved up here, so that’s not out of the question!
I love that silence too, Marie.
Beautiful snow pictures!!!
Thank you!
Lovely.
Thanks!
