Snow!

I woke up to about an inch of snow on the tops of cars, bushes and trees. I live at 1500 feet elevation, so this is an uncommon event.   A little on the ground though I think it was too wet for it to stay.  I sat outside with the cat as it continued to snow lightly and then rain gently and it went back and forth for about an hour.  It is now about four hours later and the sun is trying to come out.  There are still major clouds so who knows what will happen. Almost all of the snow has melted now except  for some white on the branches of the apple trees.  Looks as though someone painted the tops of them.  Cold.
