The first snow of the season threatens our Bradford Pear
The TV and radio weathermen were wrong again. Rather than just a dusting to 1 inch of snow, we got 8 inches overnight to set a record snow fall for this date.
Meanwhile, lovely Bradford Pear tress (like ours in the photo)- caught with their late fall leaves still in full Glory - are bending under the stress of the wet, heavy snow on top of their leaves.
So far our Bradford Pear Tree seems to be okay. However, the local news has reported that many other Bradford Pears, across the Metro, aren't as lucky.
The vivid coloring is straight from the camera.
