March snow

If you live where it snows — the kind of snow that comes down on and off for days and months at a time and is plowed off roads and parking lots over and over — then you know what end of season snow looks like. 

Our typical snowfall is 40+ inches per season. That's not much compared to where my sister lives in Pennsylvania and averages around 70 inches. No idea what the annual snowfall is where my sisters in Vermont and Massachusetts live. 

It would take a big snow storm to bring our local landscape back to what it looked like after the first snowfall.

Then again we often get just such a storm around St. Patrick's Day . . .

These photos were taken at one corner of the parking lot at our gym. You can imagine the other views.

We haven't had any snow to mention this winter. It has been above normal temps all winter. No ugly piles of snow here. Luckily yours will be gone soon.

Glad we had the tiny bit of snow that fell this week as it went down to 12 degrees overnight last night. Now we are going to start going up again.

Oh my! Hopefully spring comes soon and reduces these mountains of snow to a memory. You must be itching to get out in the garden.

I remember a year in Spokane, WA, when there was so much snow that everyone was running out of places to pile it. Trucks were taking it out of parking lots and dumping it outside of town. And yes, that lovely "dirty snow" look stayed around forever. And the cars were all the same color - a dull brown/grey.

At least you can get to park at the gym!
I'll be honest I am glad we have left those snows behind. Now if we get a dusting it is quite a novelty. I remember getting a snow in May when we lived in Montreal. That was pretty depressing. All the blossom was out.

i have experienced more than a dusting in April. Historically we have had it in May but I have never had that unhappy experience.
