Here We Go Again
We had some nice warm days and all the snow was gone.
My Son went out and cut down some small trees that should have been eliminated last year. Our neighbor was busy cleaning his yard while looking for odd bits of wood for his wood stove. He has plenty but any extra is welcome. Another neighbor mowed hi lawn for the first time this year.
There was minor flooding but the river was supposed to recede By yesterday; no they changed it to today; wait maybe two more days would be needed.
I awoke this morning and looked out the window. Everything was white.
We had probably about 5 inches of snow today. So much for spring.
There were some fairly large flakes coming down for a while along with normal snow. As usual it is pretty to watch as it floats down and lands.
Once the snow stopped the wind began to blow harder. Big clumps of wet snow blew from the trees. Some landed on the roof. Some fell to the ground leaving small craters in the snow.
At least for now there is no snow and no strong wind. Occasionally when I look out the wind a quick breeze will send a little snow racing across a yard. No swirls just straight across.
According to the weatherman it will be cold for a few days with another day of snow and rain mix in about three days.
It is supposed to warm up then... according to the weatherman. I am beginning not to trust him.

It is really too much, everyone needs the spring to come. But I guess it comes in its own time. Mother Nature is stubborn.
ReplyDeleteMother Nature is getting on my nerves!
DeleteWaiting, waiting, waiting....
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes...
DeleteThat has to be the end of the snow now, spring is well overdue there! Keep warm Diane
ReplyDeleteRight now the weather report is saying snow on Sunday. We will see.
DeleteYou must still be IN Nebraska. Boy, would I hate snow this late. I really, really would hate snow this late. My daffodils are already come and already gone. My grass is green. My pear tree is in flower...
ReplyDeleteI actually live in Iowa where Nebraska< Iowa, and South Dakota come together. I actually like the changing seasons. This year the snow is lasting a little too long. We are under a winter storm warning until Saturday right now,
DeleteWe also had some spring-like teases this week and I spotted daffodils, hyacinths and some crocus blooms. But a wintry mix is forecast for this weekend and cooler temps and just when I was ready to put away winter wear. Hope your snow is short-lived, Emma.
ReplyDeleteI think the blizzard part is over because the winds have died down. Unfortunately it is still snowing. It is the middle of April!
DeleteI bet this is last teaser of snow dear Emma as I can feel the SPRING moving towards your area smoothly
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately we are supposed to get up to 5 inches of snow tomorrow.
