Saturday Photo: Sticky Snow Is the Up Side of Slushy Days

We've had steady precipitation for the last few days--some rain, some snow with temperatures considerably warmer than usual for this time of year.

The result has been slushy sidewalks, but also snow that sticks to branches. The effect is quite lovely, if you can stop in your jumping across the slush patches to enjoy the sight.

Since most schools in the Montreal area are off for the semaine de rélâche next week, kids are likely to have a lot of fun making snowpeople and otherwise frolicking. In the mountains less rain and more snow fell, so conditions should be even better for winter sports.
