The first big snowstorm of the season. Another meticulously, hand-shoveled walkway. Half the driveway was plowed. Around the car and the car were cleared by hand. The snow was forecasted to be a light and fluffy. The weather dudes lied. The snow was heavy and wet.
A weather watcher in town officially measured the storm total at 11 inches.
The plow guy neglected to plow in front of the mailbox. That was cleared by hand, too. I received a wrist slap in the mailbox. Apparently, postal regulations require a 30 foot clearance between the entrance to and exit from the mailbox.
Red sky in the morning
After the snow, wind and heavy rains turned the snow to slush

We were lucky as we didn't lose electricity and no water in the basement.
Unseasonably warm temperatures, sun and another round of heavy rains, cleared most of the snow from the yard
The heavy winds took off some of the panels from the greenhouse.
Almost all gone snow.
Beautiful sunset
and pastel Winter
skies.
How does your garden grow?
Ugh on all of that snow! But wow that the rain melted most of it. Is it Spring yet? - Anne (Cornucopia)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping this is the last of the snow
DeleteBeautiful snow! We may get some tomorrow. We're just hoping our power stays on.
ReplyDeleteI hope your power stays on, too.
DeleteFirst let me say, I love GNOMES! Snow folks and Gnomes, so I love your gnome ruler. As for snow, we are in waiting here in TN. Supposed to start later today or in the morn. Its the temps that I am really not looking forward to. In a new home, I am not sure what to expect.
ReplyDeleteI just looked up the NWS to see what's going on in TN. Looks like you're in a Winter Weather Advisory. With 3 to 6 inches of snow. Up here, that would be more of a nuisance than a major event. I'm guessing you don't get a lot of snow so your public works might not have a lot of equipment to clear the snow quickly. I'm guessing this storm for you will be a major event. My advice? If you can stay home, stay home and off the roads. Look out a window and watch it snow. Put on a pot of tea/coffee read a good book or watch a movie. I hope the snow isn't heavy and wet as that could take down power lines. At 22 oF, it won't take long for the snow to turn icy. That's the worst thing. I hope you have a flashlight handy, food in the pantry like bread, crackers and PB and J that can be eaten without cooking if you do lose power. Stay safe and warm. Here's hoping the weather dudes go over excited and the storm fizzles out.
DeleteWOW! If you don't like the weather, wait fifteen minutes! LOL What a change!
ReplyDeleteToday the temps. dropped to the 30s, but the wind is gusty so it feels even colder! Only 157 days until the Summer Solstice!
DeleteWe had some snow today. Before I got my camera it had stopped. But on Wednesday we are supposedx to get sh*tloads of it! Have a great week, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYikes!
DeleteBeautiful snow scenes - love the view looking across the street. No snow here...hurray! ...i want a green house.
ReplyDeleteHimself bought the greenhouse at Harbor Freight. You can buy online, too.
Deletesome day maybe! one can dream, lol . I just can't grow anything much up here. My neighbor does so I can at least appreciate hers.
DeleteDid you get snow today? We had some squalls come through. You got about the same amount that we did, but it was fluffy here. However, we got more on Tuesday, and even with the rain yesterday, we still have some crust around. Oh no about the greenhouse. I don';t know if we'll be snow free this week. Keep your fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteWe got a dusting yesterday. More snow predicted for Tuesday and another on Friday. I'm not happy.
DeleteThat sunset does look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
After a lot of rain, the sunset was really pretty.
