The weather has been warmer than usual until the last week or so when it cooled off. We had a few snow flurries, but nothing that stayed on the ground. December 5th saw a snowfall accumulate to about 10cm (4")


The evergreen boughs held onto the snow





Garden plants that had not been cut shouldered some snow


A little snow capped the burrs on the burdock plants

Seed pods and leaves also grabbed some snow



Stumps were capped with snow

Starlings were in the treetops deciding where to try for some snow covered food. Squirrel tracks ran between trees


A snow covered park bench had attracted no takers

From one angle, a "what's that?" was standing in the snow, from another angle, a teeter-totter/seesaw emerged.
