Sunny Snowfall

It is rare to experience heavy snowfall in full sunlight. A small amount of overnight snow had adhered to everything above perhaps 1000ft or so, and full morning sun was just coming out as we got up to that height. The snow continuously slid off the firs, and the ambiance was spectacular. It was cold enough that the snow was still crisp and powdery.

It didn't take long until the warmth of the sun led to drippy, slushy, unpleasant precipitation, still from the trees above.
