Heavy wet snow fell over night and remained attached to tree branches until morning. I took the tree/landscape photo at first light; soon after, the rising temperatures caused the snow to fall off the trees in big chunks. The Squirrel was feeding on bird seed and adapted to the falling chunks of snow by covering its back and head with its tail.
