Variations on winter....in late fall

It seems winter has arrived and has no intention of allowing autumn to make a graceful exit. I don't know if I will ever get a chance to rake my leaves that just all fell a week and a half ago (right before this all started).
Last week (November 26/7) it snowed these beautiful big white flakes that accumulated to about an inch and a half.


Thought this was a great catch! Always on the job.


The snow got heavy for a while.



It made for a beautiful setting for the birds of gryphonsporch to feast.

This past weekend (dec 1-2) we had snow (snowflake snow) that went to sleet to freezing rain to just rain. By Sunday afternoon the rain was falling on a layer of ice and snow and the temperature variation/melting snow created a lovely gray, foggy backdrop.







And finally a few words from Cerberus...and his magical stick....
