Snowfall

It snowed most of the day today.  Sometimes tiny flakes, sometimes larger.  Sometimes snowing heavily, other times lightly.  Sometimes falling gently, other times with gusty winds driving the snow up the street and between the houses.

And it is cold.  The low tonight is forecast to be 3 degrees F.  To think that a couple of weeks ago I was commenting on the songbirds behaving as if spring was around the corner.  I hope they've gone someplace warm for a few days.

I shoveled the drive mid-day.  A little more has fallen, but it is very light and powdery, so it won't be hard to touch up.  The street was plowed this evening.  I'll need to shovel out the berm tomorrow so we can get the car out.

A couple of friends have been sending photos from Costa Rica.   Good planning on their part!  Although I have to say that even though we've had much more snow and cold weather than usual, I've enjoyed the winter, and remember how much fun I used to have skiing.

Spring will be beautiful when it comes, with magnolia blooms and azaleas of all colors.  But I will miss the crisp, clean, whiteness of the winter snow.  All is beautiful.
