The variable nature of snow events in western Washington is fascinating. I enjoyed our first big snow at our new home on Samish Island. Roughly a foot fell over night.
The snow was sticky and gave the "plantation" part of the forest a good coating
I made about a dozen ski runs on the very mild slope
The snow had coated the calm tidal areas of Alice Bay and Samish Bay and rafts of slush were floating out with the tide at the east end of the island

Slush on shallow tide water
Bald eagles returning from their duck hunting
Young eagles on a well designed perch
Tidal lake covered with slush
This snow event was a tree trimming event. Lots of loud snaps as limbs snapped off in the forest
