Christmas eve at Forked Meadow

The snow finally came at the tail end of the atmospheric river today. We got several inches and things cooled down enough to lock in the rain as ice in the existing snow. Sunny enjoyed spending some time in my mom’s tote bag because he fits he sits.

December atmospheric river at Forked Meadow

The atmospheric river roared in this morning. We’re getting a lot of cold rain falling on the snow. The creek has started flowing both above and below the snow which makes for some interesting scenes.

A little later in the day and the creek has expanded out over the lower part of the meadow all the way into the woods. I’ve never seen it do this here before.
