Snow Lingering In Spots

Even though the winter weather has warmed and the deep freeze has moved on, we still see small snow patches lingering in the shady spots around the farm.

In the foreground, the water is running freely through the pasture. Beyond the treeline  where the river flows, is located on the shady dark side of the hill and still has a covering of snow.

Once we got past the first blast of warm, tropical air that carried with it many inches of rain, the moderation of temp and moisture allowed for these small snowfields to melt slowly. The slow melt adds much needed fluid to the dry ground and it soaks in deep so it will sustain the vegetation for a long time.
