Another Light Dusting

 

12/3/22 6:30 a.m., Maple Leaf neighborhood

While other parts of the region had been getting several inches of snow, we had been spared much accumulation. The pattern for several days was to get a light dusting overnight, maybe as much as an inch, then daylight temperatures would rise enough to melt it all away, only to repeat overnight.

I got up a little earlier than usual on Saturday, so I had plenty of darkness to make another nocturne across the street. The brightest illumination was from the street light casting reflections on the car. Last year when I sketched this house, the family hadn’t put up any lights. This year a string of modest lights is on the handrailing.
