As we watch the snowflakes drifting down from inside our cozy houses (enjoying this day off), it's natural to reflect on the differences between this snowstorm and the storm that ate Halloween. This time around, the leaves were off the trees. Sounds obvious, huh?!

| Same Deciduous - March |
This is what made all the difference. The snow, in this March snowstorm, clinging to the bare deciduous branches weighed them down a bit, then slid off when it got too heavy. The snow bent the evergreen branches, leaving them coated for a bit longer before the snow slid off their waxy, flexible needles.

Overall, I'd take this type of snowstorm any day!!
