This was recorded in a dense forest the morning after the first measurable snowfall of the year beneath massive, towering Sugar Pine trees and other native conifers in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. As the sun hit the treetops above, it warmed the snow laden foliage, which loosened it's icy grip and sent it's load cascading into the branches below and onto the snow covered forest floor.
