Snow day
Nearly all of our snow had melted and recently, some days really felt like Spring, but in March in New England, Nature can give us surprises. Seven inches of heavy, wet snow!

With the temperature slated to reach well above freezing today, I expect this won’t last too long. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy this last gift of winter.

Funny how it does feel like a gift! But we are New Englanders, after all. đ
Yeah, half crazy, in a good way! đ
Made me laugh! Yes!
Noooooo! đ
Hehe, yup! đ
Reblogged this on Blue Dragon Journal.
Thank you for reblogging, Eliza!
What more to ask for than waking up to a reign of Ice on a daily basis? âī¸âī¸âī¸âī¸âī¸âī¸âī¸đđ
So beautiful.. âēī¸ Thank you Madam for sharing..!!
Thank you, glad you liked it!
You are welcome Madam.. I loved it.. I love Ice and Winters.. âī¸âēī¸
It is beautiful as well as heartbreaking! But having lived all our lives during New England Marches, we know it usually happens, & it’s always gone within a week. Nature provides consistency which is reliably comforting & which we need especially now.
Half of it is already gone, so its easy not to mind that much snow (esp.since B took care of the driveway đ ). I’m happy for the beautiful distraction. đ
I was hoping we too would get a little bit of snow, but all we had yesterday was cold rain. As things stand now, here in Northern Virginia we have had a grand total of six-tenth of an inch of snow this season. Of course, seven inches would have paralyzed our area, but so many people are already working from home and kids are out of school, so it would have been a relatively pleasant distraction. Nice job, Eliza, in capturing the snow-covered branches and the snow-blower in action.
Thanks, Mike. I expect the families here with little kids welcomed the distraction of snow games to burn up some of the kids’ excess energy. Sticky and wet, its perfect for snow scultpture and snowball fights. đ
You got great images, a great sequence of all that happened. I hope it’s the last one before spring, but only Nature knows. Your wintery landscapes are aways beautiful!
Thank you, Maria. One never knows what the weather will bring this time of year!
Beautiful, Eliza! We had a little bit of snow the other day here too. It really is so lovely and refreshing – even when we’re all ready for springtime. đ
Thank you, Julie! It isn’t hard to enjoy it when it is so pretty and I know that it won’t last long. đ
Yikes! You got that much!? We had huge snowflakes, everything has melted, already. It’ll be in the low 50âs today. The snow does look pretty. Did you snowshoe?
The eastern edge went right over us, mostly snow rather than rain. Could have been worse! No snowshoes, not really that deep and we’d already put them away anyway. đ
Oh my! Lovely scenes there, what a surprise!
Thank you, Pete, we got more than we expected. It has hardlly snowed this winter, other than our early Dec. 18″ storm, this has been our second largest. Bookend storms!
Very pretty to look at, but I’m fine if all of that stays east of us!!
It feels like we’ve gone back in time… a bit like Chutes and Ladders! đ
Beautiful! Looks like Christmas. đ Enjoyed the inch or two that we got and now it is gone.
Thank you, Irene! I don’t expect this to last too long either.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you, Nathi!
My pleasure!
I love to see snow pictures. We are unseasonable warm with temps to the 90’s.
What a contrast! We’re in the 40s now and 90 seems such a huge difference! Hope you get a break soon.
Whoa! Impressive.
đ Thanks, Jim.
My condolences. I like snow, but not in March. We had a pretty snowless winter and I’d be quite discouraged if we got one this late in the season, even if that is the personality of March. I know you true Northerners cope with these things better than me. It really hasn’t felt like spring here yet, and instead of snow, we’ve just had tons of rain and flooding. So, I guess it’s a toss up either way you look at it. Fortunately, this time of year, snow doesn’t last long, but 7 inches is a lot.
Thank you, Cindy. A lot has melted already, but it was surprising how much came down. Now they are saying more is coming. Ah, March weather!
It’s pretty – and of course if that happened here it’d be cause for great excitement of the positive kind. I hope you do indeed get a prompt melt and that your Spring show reopens soon!
Thank you, Kris. Half is gone already, so my snowdrops should show again in a day or two. đ
Snow has lingered in parts of NE this March, too. But, as you say, it just doesn’t last that long, this time of year.
Easy not to mind it when you know it won’t last! đ
So true.
Gosh it is beautiful, even when you are longing for spring. Keep warm!
Thank you, Carol. We’ve made it this far, what’s another day or two? đ
Did the snow âī¸ kill the virus ha?! Looks beautiful Eliza âī¸âī¸
Thank you, Karen. Wouldn’t that be a March Miracle?!
Indeed, âgift of winterâ! Beautiful đđ
Thank you, Stormie!
Lovely photos, Eliza! Snow in March is the one constant, in these uncertain times. đ
Yes, don’t we know it! Thank you, Belinda. đ
Oh wow! That’s more than we got all winter over here! But, I’m sure the spring will win in the end.
March generally gives us a bit of snow, but with so little falling this winter and spring arriving, I’d thought we were done. Apparently not!
Wow seven inches! Beautiful pictures though đ
Thank you, MB! Fresh snow is always so pretty (as opposed to dirty snowbanks)!
Well it does look pretty, even if it’s not what I was hoping to see this week đ
I think I cleared the driveway once this winter, and it was more out of boredom than a real need to clear the way. I wonder what the summer will bring!
Let’s hope it isn’t a trend! I hope that living in the middle of a big forest will keep me cooler than the ‘burbs.
It looks beautiful Eliza, enjoy the snow while it’s here đ xxx
Thank you! x
Lovely images. We had snow as well but it is almost all gone already. Hope you are keeping safe & healthy in this pandemic time… (Suzanne)
Thank you, Suzanne. This time of year the snow goes fast.
Re: quarantine: Doing as well as we can. Hope you both are staying healthy.
Glad you are staying well Eliza. We are keeping healthy and following all of the recommendations of our government. We actually came back last week two weeks early from our 2-month winter travel and we were among the lucky ones who were able to get back easily without having to pay huge amount of money. We hope to start posting soon on our recent travel. Stay well.
Beautiful pictures! We didn’t really get any snow this year and I miss it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your visit. It certainly was a mild winter here as well, sandwiched between two big storms.
So very beautiful, Eliza!
Thank you, Donna!
Now that’s a March storm! But it does feel like a gift–or it would if I were there. When it snows this late, you know it won’t be there long.
Much easier to bear at this stage, for sure! đ
Ditto here, and we have quite a few branches down. Oh well, what else will I have to do once the snow melts. đ
It does give us something to do with our time! đ
SNOW!!!! đ
What a lovely gift!
Indeed, short-lived, fortunately. đ
Ah yes, suddenly I go into my wardrobe to get me a sweater
đ Yup!
How fortunate to have a last encounter with snow. I hope you got out in it.
Definitely! A lot of it is still out there, a few inches at least. Seems like winter always wants the last word.
If it is our last of the season then it was lovely while it lasted.Enough days have passed that it is now old news but there are still a few small remnants where it had been piled by plow or shovel. I had almost put the snowblower away. Maybe it’ll stay in the garage for another week or two. April can have a surprise or two waiting for us.
It can indeed surprise us, but let’s hope that is the last for this winter. I’m ready for full-on spring. I need to be outside!
It certainly is pretty Eliza. But letâs hope Spring can get a hold now this last storm has passed. đˇâī¸đˇ
Thank you, Cathy. Most of it has melted – today is warm, 60F, so I’m happy!
how beautiful!!
Thank you! Not bad for a day or two, but I am glad to see it has mostly melted. I’m ready for spring.
Yep. Spring in Ontario can be like that too. Hope it’s starting to thaw now.
Hi Cynthia. Yes, the ebb and flow of the seasons… most of the yard is free of snow now and the crocus are now dotting the lawn. Yay!
I’m glad to hear that snow is gone now. đ
Yes, at least, I can now putter around the yard. đ
So pretty when everything gets coated … even in the spring!
Yes! Only a few patches of that snow now remain, mostly in the shadows.
We had a brief visit from winter too, but not nearly as much as you!
Glad to report most of it has melted, now replaced with very cold rain!
I wish we had had more snow so I could have taken more photos. Dont get too cold.
Thanks, Alison. Most of the snow has melted and now it is chilly and raining. Ah, spring! đ
Love it! Miss it! So beautiful. đâī¸
Thank you, it was pretty while it lasted. All gone now!
I must admit a coating of snow is beautiful, but by mid March I am ready for Spring. Lovely pictures.
Thank you, Geri. We’re still getting dustings of snow. Spring has been slow in arriving!
Spring has arrived for me. Hopefully, your spring in coming soon!
