You can see that these have long flexible branches which droop more and more as the snow load gets heavier. They can hold a lot of snow.
Watch out, though. If you happen to be standing under one when it has reached its limit of heavy snow, you will have a cold shower down your back.

It is springlike here in the valley right now and almost all the snow that I posted a couple of weeks ago is gone. In the mountains, however, all but one of the passes that connect the east and west sides of our state are closed. Our plans for snowshoeing today had to be cancelled because of--you guessed it:
heavy snow!!!!
Those are wonderful winter snow shots. The trees do hold a heavy load. Hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent post for heavy, I tried and tried to think of a post and have ice storm photos I did not think of. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, I love it. We just don't see much snow, We;ve had none so far this winter. Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a lot of snow!!! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteCold and heavy! Great shots. Happy hunting!
ReplyDeleteThat's really heavy snow! It's sooo thick... awwww, I'll be wearing 10 layers of clothings in that weather :P with my hands too frozen to snap pictures. Nice shoot and effort :)
ReplyDeleteThe snow shots look a bit gloomy. Great shots nonetheless as it captures a certain mood.
ReplyDeleteOh my GOSH! That really IS some HEAVY snow! Those poor trees! LOL! I hope not too many of them were lost ... nor their branches. It IS beautiful though... isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGood idea for Heavy! Looks beautiful but like you say, you don't want to be standing under those trees if that snow dropped.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful take on the theme. That is heavy snow for sure.
ReplyDeletehappy Weekend.
What a great take on the theme!
ReplyDeletegreat photos and great take on the theme!
ReplyDeleteI miss the snow!
I'm freezing just by looking at the photos. Great shots. Even the leaves could not stand the weigh of the heavy loads :)
ReplyDeleteIf you have the time, do check out my another interpretation here
As we get hit with another snowfall tonight (in Michigan) , I appreciate the beauty of a heavy snowfall like your photos, but I've had enough! UNCLE! Thanks for your visit to my hunt tonight!
ReplyDeleteThat is ALOT of heavy snow! Great photos! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteSometimes those heavy laden branches break off too. The photos are lovely Katney. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love winter shots. Thanks for the visit. To answer your question, I took the animal photos at the Olympic Game Farm in Sequim, WA. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow! Nice photos you have here. We don't have this in our country...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of cold and heavy. Thanks for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteAwesome winter pics! Heavy snow indeed:)
ReplyDeleteNice choice
ReplyDeleteI love snow!!! i wish we had some here at this part of the world :(
ReplyDeletePearl - happy hunting
whoa. coming from a tropical country, i salute you guys for enduring such cold environments. the last time we were in SFO, NYC, and South Carolina, the temperature was in the 40s and I could HARDLY stand it hahahaha a warm, cozy weekend to you all!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of extra weight got the poor trees. We don't have snow, just Pecans. The trees get so heavy woth Pecans, the limbs often snap off. We lost lots of limbs this year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, Katney. The snow does look very heavy on those trees. Hope you stay warm and cozy on this heavy snow day you are having. We have the air-conditioner on here in south Florida! Blessings!
ReplyDeletewow...lots of snow in there. In here, this winter we don't have any snow :D Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteWill u visit my Photo Hunter : Heavy Thanks. Have a nice weekend.
Beautiful and peaceful shots.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
It sure does looks heavy to me, great shot! Happy weekend!

Wow, that is one heavy snow on those trees... we have a lot of snow here too and with the warmer temperatures finally, avalanches are now happening.... great post.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snow pictures. I could just sit and watch for hours. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely shots! That snow looks really heavy on the trees.
ReplyDeleteTypical that your plans have been ruined by heavy snow - maybe we should change next week's theme to hot or sun!
Continued snow can get heavy for the trees and soil!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and choice! HAppy weekend!
Oh those are gorgeous pictures! Snow is so picturesque, or can be, but it can also cause such a lot of aggravation.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trees. One of the few things I love about snow - the way it looks in a landscape.
ReplyDeletelooks like some of the trees here where we live-heavy with snow.Great photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pictures, I love snow and this sure show how much snow you've got in there....Thanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteMine is up too:
Every Beat Of My Heart

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Though at this time of the year, I'm sick of snow.

ReplyDeleteI love snow in the winter. Unfortunately we have no snow here in Adelaide. My kids have never seen snow. One day.
ReplyDeleteLike the warning about the heavy load!
ReplyDeletewow! these are the real "heavy" snowfall. We rarely get snow here in Osaka so last Saturday's snow was heavy for us :D
ReplyDeleteLovely winter snow photos. Haven't seen snow yet, we don't have those down here in a tropical country :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Hi!
ReplyDeleteYour Heavy Photo Is Great!
Really Pretty Also!
Wow, wonderful snow pictures. Really looks cold & heavy!
ReplyDeleteWow! Heavy snow seems to be the rule rather than the exception this winter! Love your tree/snow shots. Well, I love the photos, NOT the snow. We're so tired of it here in western Illinois!! LOL
