One of the many joys of moving to Los Alamos, NM: Snow! I donned the snow pants and snow boots to walk around the block and take pics before it all melted away.

Oh wait, it’s only 19 degrees outside
It's not a snowpocalypse but I don't plan on driving down our street today unless absolutely necessary. Trees in a canyon near our house are covered in snow. Snow accumulates on the pine needles of a ponderosa pine. The Cat watching me with envious eyes as I wade around in the snow. We've accumulated three to four inches of snow since Friday. -
Our first NM Christmas tree
Mari and I picked up a nice 6ft tall Noble fir tree today. I think this is the first tree we’ve bought since living together that wouldn’t fit on a table. We were pretty excited to start decorating; even the cat got in on the fun.

First snow of the season
The first real snow of the season hit this past Saturday. It wasn’t much but it was pretty.
The cat's first snow. He was not amused. 
Snowflake catcher. 
The lone sunflower in our backyard doesn't look like it's going to survive much longer. 
I've always like the aluminum trashcans with lids. 
The fence was a popular place for snowflakes to gather.

I can't wait for more snow.
