A few days of sun and warmer temperatures were nothing but a tease. We missed the big storm that hit the East Coast and New England but we are getting our own blast of winter again. Mark and I both think last night's snowfall may be the biggest one we've had all season. They were predicting 2-4 inches but it looks like more. Temp this morning is 31 degrees F. which is not bad but not enough to lure me out to take photos. These were all shot through windows.
I started in the library . . .
New plants marked to remind me where they are and to protect them from the rabbits.
Unlike much of the snow we had earlier this winter, this one came down fast, wet and heavy.
I will need to go outdoors in a while to try to shake the snow off the plants that it has splayed out and bent to the ground like this one.
It does look lovely and is pretty typical March weather here.
Looks like all the critters were hunkered down last night as I don't see any tracks out there this morning. After I have a little more coffee, I will go out and make tracks of my own.
Yikes, Linda! I hope that's winter's last blast in your part of the country. Snow is always pretty to my eyes but I imagine dealing with it close up is something else again.

The good news is that the roads are in good shape as it is melting surprisingly fast.

Your area is certainly getting its final (?) dose of winter. We are getting the wind from this big front and cooler temps but no snow. We usually get a little snow in March. We will see how it goes this year. I hope your snow melts soon.

It was a pretty, fluffy, heavy snow, wasn't it? With the buds heavy on the trees and shrubs, they really hold the snow beautifully. I usually don't mind snow quite as much this time of year, unless we get more than a foot and it doesn't melt for a while. Unfortunately, I had to drive quite a bit today (long story), so it was a bit treacherous--especially this morning. I'm glad to be home in a safe, warm house. :) Your photos are lovely!

Snow is so very pretty in your garden but I'm glad we seem to be finished with it here. We're ready for spring!

One year we did have a big early April snow but I am hoping this is it for the season. Looks beautiful with the sun glittering on it this morning.

That heavy wet snow is the worst! Hope nothing snapped.

You know you've planted a good garden when it looks equally beautiful covered in snow as it does in June. Still, snow is less charming in March to be sure. We didn't get nearly as much out of this snow event as they predicted, and I'm grateful for that.
