Fluffiness and Fire

I've already shared how the snow is very powdery. It is a pretty sight to see as it comes down. The flakes are often so big and fluffy, they look exactly like cotton balls.

During the day, the sun always manages to hit the snow with differing respect. Sometimes the sun stays hidden behind the clouds and the sky looks cold and blue gray. Sometimes the sun peeks out and casts warm, teasing yellow making everything sparkle like diamonds. And at the best times, in the evening, while the sun goes down early in the sky, it sets the white ablaze with oranges and reds, everything on fire.

*I tried to capture the huge snowflakes on camera. This photo far from describes the scene and feel, but eh, I gotta show ya something.
