On Thursday, my part of the country experienced a once in a life time snow. Usually, we get snow about once a year....a little bit of white stuff that makes roofs pretty. Sometimes, there is enough to stick on the ground, and the children make the most ugly snowmen that I have ever seen (snow, mud and grass makes for ugly snowmen).
This snow was different. Initially, they had predicted an inch (the usual) of "winter precip" for the area. The day before it happened, we had fallen out of the snow zone. In the end, we received about 9 inches of snow with an accumulation of 5-6 inches.
I have never wanted to live in a snow bound state, but I found this snow absolutely refreshing. I was lucky enough to be off so that I could get out and enjoy with a camera in hand. Today, 3 days after the fact there is still a little bit of snow on the ground, although most of it has turned to mush/mud. We have had a crazy year (starting last fall) with a lot more rain that normal. We are saturated, and the melting snow is just hanging out on the surface.
I hope you enjoy my pictures:

Dogs having fun in the snow--could there be any better subject for the photographer. And such fashion plates they are in their snow gear. Your woodland photos were just great. Near your home?
We're expecting our 3rd snow storm in two weeks. I love it, especially since am retired and don't have to leave the house.
