Birch Wood

I knew where to go and look for pine trees for my Advent wreath and found some damage on the path (extra). Storm damage?

On the right side of the path is the little birch wood.

I had all weathers in the 30 minutes I was outside. Started in sunshine, then the rain arrived and turned to sleet and I rescued myself in the car.
Arrived home and had a dry walk across the street and in the house; once upstairs it had started to snow and the roof window in the kitchen was covered with flakes, but it only lasted minutes.
Everything quiet now. Another eventless Saturday evening.
