Saturday Snapshot: Sticky Snow

Saturday Snapshot is a weekly meme hosted by Alyce at At Home With Books. The guidelines are to post a photo that you or a friend or family member have taken and then link it back to Alyce's original post for the week. Photos can be old or new and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see.

 We were hit with a rather cool but surprising snowstorm this past Wednesday. A range of 6 to 14 inches of heavy, wet snow ( I call it 'sticky snow') blanketed the city. I snapped this of my balcony, where the combination of sticky snow and southerly winds created a nifty snow shelf under the railing. The shelf sticks out about 6 inches, free form and with no support. I'm curious as to how long it will last.


During a walk the previous day, I had snapped the following as it reminded me of spring. Spring seems an awfully long ways away now!

    Sounds like you got hit pretty hard! Drifts always make interesting shapes, though, don't they?

    That is so pretty, even if it does look chilly! I was thinking something similar today, about how far away Spring seems.

    Isn't it amazing the forms that drifted snow can take ... gives new meaning to air flow ...

    Oh I just can't wait, not really, I'd love to keep spring here forever.
