Snowing across the Tundra
Birds flocking to the feeder like we run out for bread and milk before a storm
The female cardinal stopped by for seeds on the ground. Hi, Ma!
The red-headed woodpecker chased the other birds from the feeder
The condition of the roads was pretty bad
This storm started out with weather forecasters on Friday saying my area would get a coating to an inch of snow. Saturday morning totals were upped to 2 to 4 inches with some areas getting 6 inches of snow. A lull in the storm the measurement was just shy of 3 inches of snow.
The road not looking great
When all was said and done, a total of 4.75 inches of snow. Not that I wanted to see any snow, but this was the anniversary of The Blizzard of '78, the benchmark of storms in New England. With that storm I was still living at home with my parents. Our area got 30+ inches of snow and paralyzed the state for a week.
"A" came early in the morning to clear the driveway, cars, and walk.
It's wicked cold and a good day to stay in and hibernate.
How does your garden grow?
Wow! Those photos look like the art I've been posting on FB. You got so much snow! We are clearing rapidly here, but our north-facing patio is still a sheet of ice. -Divers and Sundry
ReplyDeleteYou need several days and nights of above freezing temperatures.
DeleteIt's quite mild here, and wet, but we may have colder weather next week.
ReplyDeleteBooo
DeleteMaybe '78' is the snowstorm i remember.. i would have been about 10-11 in PA,NJ area... as a kid it was fabulous! lol You stay safe! and warm! WE are warm! close to 80 degrees nearly every day this week... the weeds have not started growing yet , probably for lack of rain.. Except for our little snow/ice storm a couple weeks ago we've had no rain all Winter and very little before that.. Gorgeous photos CJ! Brings back so many childhood memories :) Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI'll take your 80° temps.
DeleteWe didn't need that snow at all. I had about 2, went out and shoveled and then it seemed we got about another inch after that, but the wind had started and I wasn't going out to shovel it. Stay warm and enjoy your Bridgerton and artsy movie.
ReplyDeleteDon't blame you there. Stay warm
DeleteGood 'ole "A"!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what we'd do without him
Deleteever wonder "why" people always go for the bread and milk thought..... when there's bad weather.... ?? ☺☺☺ =^..^= !!!
ReplyDeleteWe were conditioned from the '78 Blizzard. We also buy storm food: chips, pretzels, cookies, chocolate.
DeleteYes, of course we got HIT as well here in Reading, PA! A lot of local employers choose to CLOSE their facilities; however, my a-hole employer as per usual, could care LESS about the safety of their "employees" and refused to close on the worst day of our roads here in a long freakin' time because they were TOO cheap to pay us order to close for ONE DAY! . What JERKS!
ReplyDeleteThat's horrible. I hope your commute wasn't a white knuckle ride
DeleteJust switched off the aircon here :-) Superbowl-watching is over... weeeee qute a game. Hope your place warms up soon (Iris Flavia)
ReplyDeleteI just switched on the heat. A warm up will happen in July!
DeleteLooks like we both had quite the "frozen wasteland" this winter so far! UGH!! Soo over it! :(
ReplyDeleteYes! Over it!
DeleteThat is a white world ... here in the UK its been grey, damp and dismal! Roll-on Spring.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I prefer Summer, but Spring will do
