Trees in winter
With the arrival of winter, and often at the end of autumn, a new problem arises with trees. This specific "winter" problem is associated with the accumulation of wet snow and the formation of frost on the branches and trunks of trees. "Freezing rains" - phenomena occur under certain combinations of weather conditions: sleet, wind, fog, sudden changes in temperature with a "transition through 0 degrees". Such a significant load on the branches and trunks of trees can lead to emergency situations:
1. Breaking off and collapse of large branches. Typical for poplar, aspen, willow, linden, oak. To a lesser extent for pines and elms.
2. Breaking the forks of co-dominant trunks. Most often found in the above tree species with V-shaped forks. Less typical for U-shaped forks of birch and spruce.
3. Bending under the weight of snow and ice, with possible breaking of the trunks of inclined trees.
I found the trees without obvious problems :)

Just back from a quick trip to Grand Teton National Park. It was so beautiful there. However, it only stopped snowing for short periods. We only saw the sun for a couple of hours in 4 days! The mountains never fully showed themselves. But it was fantastic! The wildlife was everywhere and the snow was incredible. In many places such as this, the snow was really to high for me to see over if I wasn't in the truck. Here I kind of put the camera over the mound of snow and prayed I would be able to get it while standing on my tippy toes. It was a true winter wonderland. Just what I was hoping for.
Will catch up with everyone as fast as I can. Can't wait to see what I missed. Hope you are all having a wonderful week!

We definitely do not get the winter’s like we use to, we received 6 inches of snow so I figured I would get some photos before it melts away.
Завершающий день этой поездки выдался хмурым, небо было затянуто тучами, иногда шел снег. Но мы все равно решили заехать к озеру и попрощаться. Несколько предыдущих недель были очень теплыми и бухта оказалась с открытой водой, а по берегу были разбросаны льдины. Даже в пасмурную погоду они выглядели потрясающе...
The final day of this trip turned out to be gloomy, the sky was covered with clouds, sometimes it snowed. But we decided to stop by the lake and say goodbye anyway. The previous few weeks had been very warm and the bay was with open water and ice floes scattered along the shore. Even in cloudy weather they looked amazing...
It's that time again :) When winter days are brooding and dark, I look outside and my magical Witch Hazel is blooming again to bring cheer to January days in my garden. The rhythms of nature are so comforting when all around seems chaotic and depressing. I treasure this weird and magical flower!
