I haven't seen black snow since my childhood.
Before the use of salt and sand to melt snow, householders and councils used to throw clinkers and ashes from the coal fires on to the streets. As it melted the buses and vehicles would throw the residue onto the footpaths and verges creating black snow. Overnight frosts would keep it there.
Oh the joy of winters past.
See what you are doing to me Don.

I like the snow drifts series Don.
Without the trees look very abstract. I wouldn't know what this is.....
Telling the truth even with the trees I don't know what this is...
