Agree on the river one although the one from the road looks amazing too. Love how the snow just sticks and hangs onto the trees. Looks like a painting. Very lucky to be in that area with that scenery.
That's why wet, heavy snow is better. A different sort of winter landscape... bike ride this morning. Small island cuts the Connecticut River in two. West half:
In the summertime, it was shallow enough you could walk across. Rather mucky, too. East side appeared completely different:
A couple more of the river.

west half, but looking south. The platform created ice by slowing the current:
Nice sky. It kept switching from mostly cloudy to partly sunny:
More "lit clouds". Temps in the mid 40s. Windy, from the west or northwest.
Nah, I prefer dry fluff snow, if you get enough it will stick to trees. Problem with Heavy wet snow is that the flakes are made up of too much water and in any sunlight it will just melt easier and not last. Plus looks to "cakey" or cement like..

Awesome. I have to learn how to get the cloudy background to show structure and color without losing the foreground brightness!
But I do have a question regarding this. How tall is your bike? Did you have a selfie stick or something? Looks like you're 10 feet in the air. lol
Drip Drip Drip. Another day in the 40s. Snowpack going....going...
I will admit.. the sun and snow on ground feels so good. Just a Gorgeous day. Anything above low 40s gets too warm. I love Sunny, cool days with snow on ground. Just something about that. Prefer 20s of course but can't complain about low 40s for this area.

Hmm. I think I like the "cakey" look. Dry snow blows off easily with any wind. Shouldn't it be harder to melt wet snow? More water content... more energy to melt the same level of snow.

I took that my phone (iPhone 6) camera. Can't remember if it was auto-exposed or I adjusted it. If you tap the screen, you can adjust the the exposure so the clouds aren't washed out.

Eh, normal bicycle height; I was off my bike when I took the photo. I angled the camera up to get more of the sky.
