Spring Flew The Coop

The weather predictions sounded like a trumpet of doom but no one paid much attention.

The weather people had been wrong about upcoming storms on numerous occasions this winter. Maybe the storm they talked about would never materialize. It could easily pass right by, like a gigantic black balloon in the sky.










When the first few flakes began to fall from the sky yesterday morning, still not much attention was paid to them. As the snow began to accumulate on the ground, I began to wonder if the predictions of another major winter storm had been right. They were.


This time, the weather people hit the snowplow on the head. We got whammed. Holy crow, that snow came down like a blizzard and came and came.





My determination to refrain from posting any more snow pictures on this blog melted when I saw what a gorgeous winter wonderland the snowstorm made. Stepping out onto porches, I snap, snap, snapped that camera. Wow! It was so awesome.


Today, 24 hours later, the snow is still falling. Thinking of driving in the Arctic Tundra does not appeal but I will definitely be driving in it soon, after, however, I shovel out. The car looks like it's sitting under a huge, white blanket.






So, pardon me for posting snow pictures at a time when people who live in cold climes are yearning for spring. I just couldn't help it because it's so doggone beautiful!







Nature is not ready for spring to arrive. So, we must enjoy the incredible artistry Old Man Winter left in his snowy path today. He's a master at creating a snowy wonderland right before the eyes!
