The birch tree collects the snow to enhance itself with frosting. The lines of the bottom branches of a birch seem to always sway downward. When you trim away some of the bottom branches of the tree, the branches above will grow or sag downward to fill the space, to again hit you in the face as you walk by the tree. The hoar frost on the branches blend in today with the snow that still clings from Saturday's snow.

I really like your photo of this birch tree. We had a birch tree in our yard when I lived in Ohio, and it did the same thing.
Thanks for visiting my site.
YES, I like it!!
Our birch does the same. The chickadees sure love our tree!
Thanks for sharing such a pretty snow pic.
That's interesting about them hanging down. Are they trying to protect the trunk?
I think my last comment got lost. I really like the snow pictures; especially yesterdays.
