It wasn&#8217;t much to speak of. It came down fairly hard for a while but was more pretty than annoyance. The ground wasn&#8217;t cold enough and it didn&#8217;t snow long enough for much to accumulate, except where it was kept away from the ground by plants, etc. I went out in the yard and took quite a few pictures. Snow is tricky to photograph because your camera&#8217;s exposure sensor wants to make your photo a middle grey while most snow scenes are much brighter than that. So, you have to override the camera. Then, if you make the dark things in the scene a proper exposure, the snow loses it&#8217;s texture and detail. In this photo, snow flakes have accumulated on a seed head of beebalm (<em>Monarda didyma<\/em>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had our first snow of 2016 today.
