Holiday star in that nasty Dec blizzard

This photo was taken during that blizzardy thing we had before the holidays.  It was nasty.  I was without power for too long.  But egads it was lovely in its own right.  Last weekend i re-measured the snowdepth on the table on the back deck : 15".  Today, there is 0".  Its gone.  All of it.  In January.  No global warming, some say?
