Eventually the snow settled- those tiny icy flakes which drifted from the sky soon rested on every exposed surface and made for an amazing sight.
When you think about it, it is just like rain- it falls onto any unprotected space but in it's frozen state collects, and stays there until it is met with a warm enough temperature or someone with a broom or scraper to remove it.
I loved capruting the way it settles on foliage and natural surfaces- organic textures highlighted furthermore.
