Maybe 5 or 6 years ago I went out just as a snow storm hit us with 3+ inches/hour. The ground was bare as I went up the tree before noon, when I slogged out at 5:00 there was a solid 14" of snow.
I was hunting in the pines and every so often the snow would slide off the laden branches in a mini avalanche, just WHOOMP! and the tree was empty from top to bottom. It was beautiful.
Those slow snowfalls where you can hear the flakes hitting are memorable!
