Snow on the Mountains

Allegheny Mountains, snowstorm, Gap WV — Snow on the Mountains.

Nature ushered in springtime with a significant snowstorm in the eastern part of the United States. We received at least seven inches of heavy, wet snow in Rockingham Co in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Though I would have preferred a warmer welcome to spring, the storm beautifully blanketed the landscape far and wide.

In this photo, the tree-studded Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia show the stunning results of a substantial March snowstorm.

“Snow on the Mountains” is my Photo of the Week.

Thanks, Carol. I’m sure the snow won’t take it personally.

Lovely photo and I’m always amazed how the snow traces the patterns of the lay of the land, and also how it makes the mountains appear bigger and more prominent, I think.

Thanks. I can’t decide if the snow makes the mountains look bigger than they are or if it shows just how big they are, where the forest in leaf hides that.
