Nature Walk: Silent Snow

Posted on February 3, 2015 at 10:00 AM by Taylor Eisenhauer

“Like magic or perhaps a miracle a drop in temperature can turn rain into pristine snow falling in silence and layering every branch, twig and blade of grass.  Conifers, whether they are pines, spruces, firs or cedars seem to show it best with gently drooping boughs.” – Carl Kurtz
