It's also coming down thick and fast, creating a low visibility and soft focus effect that's really quite beautiful. Of course, the critters are all out foraging for snacks, especially the poor migrants that sort of got caught in the middle of their journey. My tree branches are not only covered with snow, but with birds of all kinds! I counted well over twenty in one tree before the wind caused them all to shift again.
However, the resident titmouse was my personal favorite this morning. He stood on a branch looking cold and disheveled from the snow, but he kept bravely singing his spring courtship song in complete defiance of all evidence that he was pushing the season.

Lovely pictures. This snow is just starting to flurry here. "They" say we will get 5-10", but I am skeptical. ~speedsquare
We sure got it here - I didn't think it would be nearly this deep by now when I got up at 5:40 this morning and there was barely a dusting on the ground. Time to make a pot of soup and a loaf of bread! :)

Lovely!
Titmice are one of my favorite birds, too. Our goldfinches have already started turning their spring colors and it's a lovely contrast to the snow outside. It's snowing again today down here in SW MO. My deer have been absent but the birds sure are making pigs of themselves at my feeders. I put a fresh double-block of suet out on Friday and it's more than half gone already!
Your photos are truly beautiful.
