The Last of It


Well, this is the last of it.  Fingers crossed of course.  We have had a St. Patricks Day snowstorm in years passed, and I think maybe we even had an April snowfall once?  I forget.  But this year, for some reason, the snow and the cold seemed harder to deal with.  Several weeks of 15 degree temperatures were a tough one.  The cold was worse than the snowfall.  I think we got 12 inches of snow the first time and about 16 inches the second time, but that was not a problem because of my snow blower.  On the first storm I cleaned the driveway and walkways in an hour and a half, which was not bad.  But now even this last bit it is all gone, and the temperature today was 64 degrees and out I went on my bike with just a jersey and shorts on!  Fingers crossed that the temps stay reasonable.

It seems like everyone is feeling and saying the same thing about the long, cold winter we’ve had and how they don’t want to see snow again until at least next December. I like the very small patch of snow left and the two summer chairs on the green grass. Though March and April are unpredictable, the photo gives hope that warmer weather is almost here. Trace

We had a nice treat yesterday with temps in the 60's. Glad you got out for a ride, but I think temps will drop again next week. Enjoy this while you can. Looking forward to sitting out in the chairs gives us hope.

This year did seem considerably colder than past years; especially because it lasted so long. Then to pile on so much snow just made it worse. Most of the snow around here has melted. I know it’s going to get cold again but these last 2 days of warm weather give us hope for an early Spring.
