The leaf picture with snowy edges is quite beautiful.

Timely article in the Yakima Herald about this: https://www.yakimaherald.com/explore_yakima/home_and_garden/barany-in-the-garden-why-are-the-leaves-still-on-the-trees/article_cd5696dc-8bc5-11ed-8093-e7a00aa9de92.html

Good article, but to be picky marcescence is an evolutionary strategy that certain species have adopted as a regular part of their life cycle. The topic in discussion - the leaves killed in place upon trees that would otherwise have shed them normally - isn't actually marcescence and shouldn't be confused by calling it so.
