Winter in New York

My next door neighbor.

Out my back door.

[Pat]

Wow!  Lots of snow, Jeanne.

Paul is over in NH waiting it out.  Can't set out for the south until maybe Monday.

[Nita]

Jeanne, that looks cold!  I noticed I have jonquils budding.  I wonder if anyone has little plants trying to come up under all that snow?  Of course, where I am...we are not snowed in!

[Jeanne Lee]

Pat, considering that the ground was bare two days ago, it does seem like a lot.  But it's late in the season and after a super low night next week should be at or almost at the freezing mark.  And then....  if March is next, can April be far behind?   

Nita, I don't think any of the bulbs are ready to start pushing up yet.  The ground has been much too cold. 

[Jeanne Lee]

This March 8, 2013, 8:30 a.m. before before another more snowing another five or six hours.

Only 4 days later.  Raining for about 10 hears and continuing.

Wow hope you didn't have any flooding?  Today here rain has stopped, and temperature has dropped.  This is a good thing!

Great comparison!

[Jeanne Lee]

Judy, there was indeed a good bit of flooding in some areas with flood watches/warnings posted on TV.  I postponed my grocery shopping for another day.   

[JudyB]

I'm not surprised.  That amount of snow melting in that short a time does cause flooding.  You are wise to stay in.  God Bless

[Janet]

Thanks for sharing, Jeanne.  We wish we could have snow and rain!  But maybe soon.....

[Jeanne Lee]

And spring starts in less than 24 hours?

Noon, March 19.

[JudyB]

Wow!!! we have about the same amount! Usually we don't get the same storms!

[Pat]

It's snowing quite heavily here as well, Jeanne.  I'm ready for spring!!!

[Jeanne Lee]

Pat, that's tomorrow, you know.     At least my neighbor has been shoveling and snow blowing my steps and driveway.  I'm thinking about making them a loaf of blarney stone bread.

   Great idea!  Blarney Stone Bread!!!!

[Jeanne Lee]

Hmmm.  I haven't had that myself in a while.  Maybe I'll make two loaves.   

[Janet]

I've never had that--may I please have a slice?

That snow looks so good to me-but we haven't had enough of it to get tired of it, and it is so very dry here.

Praise the Lord for Spring!   

I attended an area-wide meeting last night to pray for rain!  There wasn't nearly as good a turnout as we'd hoped for, but God heard us, anyway.

Time to get ready to go to the gym, see you later!

This is the Exe estuary .............in winter.
I often go for walk here . this s where all the miragant birds come in winter months as they pass through 
It is literally just across the road from the house I live in

[JudyB]

Beautiful!

[Janet]

What a lovely place to walk!  And birds to see, too!  Lucky you.
