Snow at last
From the living room window
We are getting a snowstorm and there’s a chance of freezing rain tonight. This might be the beginning of the end of our winter drought. There is snow in the forecast for the rest of the week, but not in huge amounts.
We saw our first birds of spring yesterday, the flock of robins, and heard a cardinal sing his song high up in our larch tree.
In a few weeks, the red-wing blackbirds will be back, and that for me, marks the real beginning of spring.

The snow is just starting in our area. We had the cardinals singing in the tree on the weekend, and a friend has spotted some robins. Hopefully this isn’t a big blast of winter weather, just a quick passing storm.
I’m with you: I think this storm is going to pass over quickly. Thanks for stopping by.
We’ve had more snow in Alabama than you have in Canada Yvonne!! It’s all my doing…it followed me south! We have more on the way for this and next week!! Yikes! I’ve been shooshing out the robins from my yard so you can thank me for that. We did have a beautiful weekend with highs in the mid sixties F. Daffidols have buds and I’m ready for spring!!!
I’ve heard all about the snow way south of border. How strange the winter has been. Well, at least you have experience coping with it, unlike your neighbors, I’ll bet. I will be envious over the next weeks as spring starts to come to you. It’s a longer wait here…
Yvonne, only you can make a snow storm look that pretty.
We’re getting it here too, but with day temperatures above freezing I hope it will all “run” away soon.
What’s that with you, Eve and the snow in Alabama. Thought you would be riding your new bike in the spring sun by now!

Thanks, Lene. I like to make storms look lovely, but I wasn’t in the mood to get my camera wet, so I took those pictures through windows with a long lens. I really don’t mind a little snow after such a long winter drought.
It sounds like we have had more snow than you, though still less than those further south. Or at least, we didn’t get it dumped on us all at once like they did.
All the usual patterns have gone haywire this winter, haven’t they?
