The blue snow fell first in the
North. It fell scantily in its early hours, its
sapphire flakes floating down on the waves of the
mild winter wind and glittering in as ashen gold
light, a sober pale radiance which shimmered through
silver mists. There was poetry in the spectacle of
these hours. And then the hard gray ground of the
land was hidden under a blanket of dark blue. And
the frozen lakes and rivers, the silent valleys and
the windy hills of the country were all spread over
with this sky-dyed snow. When the last light of this
day went out, the boughs of the great pines were
creaking under the heavy wet massed of snow like
torn bales of blue cotton. There was a rush of
snowfall now as fierce winds whipped it on; its
heavy flakes were driven down in thick, whirling
clusters, in streaming veils, leaping lines and
dashing columns: and there were cloudlike swarms of
the blue flakes, which settled slowly, floating
easily in the hard wind. This wind got so strong
that it shivered the timber, and the piles of blue
snow which had gathered on the pine boughs were
shaken down. Most of this snow fell into blue mounds
around the trees, but some of it fell on the fauna
of the forest, adding to their troublement.

which probably came from a 1980's Honda of some
sort. Brackets are simply made out of Fleet Farm
aluminum which can be easily drilled and bent.
