4 or 5" expected here tonight. It's a good thing. Sun and about 0C tomorrow, +3 Thursday., so this snow might help to break down the heavy crust of ice on the two to three feet we now have. Then, it won't take as long to melt... unless...

YEah, we're being whip lashed out here, too. Yesterday the sky was all cloudy, the wind was biting cold and it drove the temp down to a frigid 65F. IF this keeps up I am moving to Southern California,, or something...oh...well, never mind.

Woke up to another inch or two on the ground this morning, with a forecast of up to 3-5 inches more. Add that to the last 6 months' accumulation ~ sigh.....   dreaming of Mexican beaches...

No idea how much 'fall' here but the wind is blowing! I have drifts at least 4' deep in my yard. Can't see the front steps at all. Can't get the Vue out of the drive. Oh well. Do laundry.

This probably isn't the place to say it is sunny, 72F, the azaleas, dogwoods, redbuds and tulips are in bloom, and yards are brimming with pansies and violas.

All the windows in the house are open, and in another week I will probably shut the furnace down for the year.

Ya'll come visit!

Laundry sounds better than shovelling, Sorcha! At least the laundry doesn't need to be shovelled again in an hour. Hehehee.

Puff, puff, pant... There's about an inch and a half of slush under the 6" of heavy, sticky snow. Great for making snowmen, snowballs, snowforts... sure sucks shovelling it. Glad I only have to clear the doors and a short pathway.

Oh, yeah... it's still snowing and blowing a clip.

Maeve... better tell them swallows to bring shovels. The storm has stalled over New Brunswick. Been just sitting in one spot, spinning around. Gathering energy and moisture from the Bay of Fundy, the Northumberland straight, the lakes and flood areas, and just spinning and dumping at 70kph. 6" more, at least.

At least it's about 3C, so the plowed streets are bare... until dark.

Oh... almost forgot... Amos and Art... ah, you know.

I cannot believe it's getting worse. Haven't seen this since back before Global Warming.

You have my most sincere and heartfelt sympathies. I thought it was bad here today, a fierce ill wind out of the NW and temperatures below 40F.

Sending a squadron of shovel-tailed swallows to assist in the immediate removal of all uninvited snow. Their orders are to liberate clear skies and restore sunshine - effective soonest.

You poor bas....d.   My heart pumps purple pi.....for you.
Cool here today in La Belle Province. But behind the house the geese and mergansers(sp.)(common)are just bathing away. The robins are looking for worms and I'm enjoying a glass of wine thinking how nice it is going to be tomorrow.
Hang in there it is a drifting East and the sun-shine will arrive very soon.

Don't tease sIx and I. "As the Snowstorm Sits and Spins and Spits" should be our official song. STILL snowing and the radar still looks the same. One could get dizzy!

It's been spring snowing for days here in Montana.

Someone called 911 and asked, "When will it stop snowing?"

Must have been their first year living here.
