My backyard view on Friday night, halfway through the big snow in Seattle. By morning, there was nine inches in my driveway. Now it’s Sunday, and more is falling!

Seattle is getting a pretty good snowstorm. This is in my backyard earlier this afternoon.

It snowed on Christmas, and such a beautiful snow it was.

Seattle had snow on Christmas Eve 2017 and also Christmas morning!

The snow was coming down hard on Christmas morning in my back yard

This is the sight that greeted us New Year’s Day morning in our backyard, south of Seattle WA.

The snow has now melted. Usually in Seattle if it snows it doesn’t last long, so I know to get out there quick and get some photos. This was our little Japanese maple in the front yard yesterday morning, with bare lilacs close to the road behind it.

It didn’t last long, but it sure was beautiful for awhile in my yard. See the snowy branches reflected in the hummingbird post below.

Fresh snow on magnolia and dogwood trees

These trees are in my backyard in Seattle, Washington, and this was taken in this first snowstorm of the season. The one on the left is a magnolia, and the one on the right is a pink dogwood. They will certainly look different in a few months!
