On again, off again

Since last night we've had periods of snow followed by periods in which the freshly fallen snow quickly melts away to almost nothing.

So within a few hours of waking this morning, much of the wonderful winter scene had vanished and been replaced with bare trees and a grey sky.

Then, almost as soon as our driveway was completely clear it began to snow again.

It then cleared and once again started to snow.

Because the ground is not frozen and it just isn't that cold I am sure that the snow we are receiving presently will also not last, though it is at least pleasant to look at (and it isn't making the roads all that bad - though I am sure that there are at least a few slippery spots).
