An October Snowfall blanketed Longmont with 14 inches of snow just before Halloween. It was spectacularly beautiful, and at the same time tragically devastating. Ay least 25% of the trees which hadn't lost their leaves couldn't take the weight of the heavy snow and branches broke all over the city. We lost our 20 foot Silver Leaf Maple when both main trunks snapped off at about 8 feet! I went out at 5:30am to shake off the rose bushes to preserve them as much as possible. It was beautiful!
But, even more lovely was the following day when every inch of vegetation was coated in a heavy yet delicate layer of frost. Jadeyn and I ventured out to the Golden Ponds at 21 degrees and played and took pictures for about an hour. Then headed back home to snap some great ones in our own front yard. Here are some of our favorites.
