Is that a pansy? Quite an unusual color–it is very rich and velvety.

It is. So far it has survived many freezing nights but this has been the first snow. We will likely lose it next week when we expect sub-zero temperatures.

I’m glad I checked on it after the snow. I’m not sure I know why the snow melted just over the blossom.

You had snow! Tolerant pansy, for sure. Great shot.

We had about 4 inches and most of it has melted. More on the way though!

Nice textures and framing, well done. Sub-zeros next week, glad we’re not there yet.

I don’t know if the Arctic air mass is supposed to move into your area or not, Dave. That’s weather that I’m never too pleased with.

I was going to ask if you got the snow…here’s my answer. 🙂
The contrast is eye-popping.

Yes, Scott, winter is about to arrive here. I look forward to more snow, but not the extreme cold.

Hi Montucky, Wow! What a wonderfully rich color in that Pansy or whatever flower it happens to be. Have a great day and keep putting up those ever-so-excellent pictures you take.

Thanks wildlifewatcher! It was the prettiest of the many Pansies that we had this year, and it chose to grow in a place that was easily seen from one of our kitchen windows.

That is so pretty. Did you rescue the pansy? Maybe it would be fine, if it melts quickly.

We don’t think it would survive inside, but many, perhaps most, of our Pansies keep coming up for several years. We hope this one will.

This snow was indeed very wet. The temperature was quite warm and the snowflakes were huge and heavy. I think the next will be very cold, the kind of snow that “squeaks” when you walk on it.
Some times during our winters, an Arctic air mass will migrate down into this area from Canada, bringing very cold temperatures, often more than -20F. One of these should arrive here this weekend, but the predictions for this one are for no more than -7F for a few days.

It was completely covered during the night, but somehow it melted enough to let the blossom show through.
