Second Snow in First Week of March!

Thursday night into Friday, March 6th-7th, we got our second big snowfall. It wasn't the 6-10" predicted by the meteorologists - that went north and west of us - but it was at least 3" of fluffy, heavy snow - and really pretty. Greg's mother Elaine came Thursday evening and spent the night with us. We woke up to the second "winter wonderland" of the week, a bitterly cold blowing snow, and a fierce northeast wind. But we got out and walked to the overlook and around the neighborhood anyway and enjoyed about 45 minutes of winter fun.

The path in some of the pictures winds through the woods parallel to the entry road to our subdivision. It's really pretty back there. Early afternoon, we had more heavy snowfall, and I tried to capture it out the sunroom window. I did manage to catch a squirrel and beautiful male cardinal at and near the feeder.


















Today the sun came out and most of the snow is gone. We're hoping spring is just around the corner!
