It started as rain, but as temperatures dropped the day after Christmas, by mid-morning Oriental was getting snow. About an inch has come down at this writing (1:30p Sunday).

We sometimes go years without snow, but this is the the second snow of 2010 (we got a few inches in February). Here are a few scenes around the snowy village.

More photos coming – we’ve sent out the photography staff with warm gloves.

4:30p Update And now that feeling has returned to the fingers, here are some photos from earlier this afternoon as the snow was tapering off. Even if we didn’t get much snow, it was enough to coat the ground and in the few blocks by the waterfront the snow helped to show their fine lines that we often lose sight of in the everyday scenes:

The docks at Garland Fulcher Seafood.

Plenty of seating at Hodges and South Water to watch the passing scene. There wasn’t much passing, but you could catch a snowcovered scene by early afternoon.

In the sculpture lot on South Water Street, one of Gary Gresko’s “Wave Forms” accumulates some snow.
