Whether or not folks like snow depends on their point of view.
A new fallen fluffy snow that outlines bare tree branches and coats what was once dead and decaying brush can be just beautiful in the morning light.
The morning sun shines through snow-covered trees.
However, that same snowfall on area roadways is not so pretty.

Trees and blue sky are reflected in a small creek.
Meanwhile, the snowfall drove some birds to visit the feeder. Spotted were many, many juncos in addition to mourning doves, tree sparrows and more.

Meanwhile, the chances of a white Christmas appear to be dwindling. But it is still too early to tell. Temperatures were on the upward trend for the beginning of this week. Forecasts showed some cooler weather for this weekend with highs still above freezing. There was rain and/or snow showers possible for Friday and Saturday. Only time will tell whether snow lovers or nonsnow lovers will be happy with the weather on Christmas day.
