As you know we got a fresh nine inches of snow on Wednesday. Then the sun came out. By Friday it was quite a bit warmer, and by afternoon the wind was howling.
As the sun lowered in the sky and shadows got deeper and longer it became apparent that all those smooth snow canvases that had showcased earlier shadows were now sculpted into hummocks and frozen waves.
I like to think of them as snow dimples. And I wanted to show you.
Because as many of you said we might as well enjoy the weather we’ve got while it’s here.
Soon enough we’ll be complaining about the heat.

How cool. I lived the first 2 decades of my life in Canada, but I can’t recall such a phenomenon. It resembles the salt flats in Death Valley, well, sorta.

I think it was a combination sun warming the snow and then wind carving it.

Your snow dimples really pretty!
I’m dreading the muddy paws and bellies……The snow at least keeps the dogs clean.

That’s when I’m glad I just have one muddy dog….and as she’s a princess she doesn’t usually get all that muddy.

Love them – and all the things they remind people of – and I bet they were super pretty in the late evening light.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen snow quite as dimpled as that. Pretty neat. But I promise not to complain about the heat! 😉
