As you can see, a few inches of snow fell today. Situation normal– April snowfall isn’t unusual here in New England. I expect the daffodils will perk back up tomorrow when all the white stuff melts. Have a great weekend!

Same scene earlier this week in MN. The joys of living in the north!
Oh, yes, it isn’t over until it is! 😉
As I recall, spring snow’s the best snow. It’s pretty, it doesn’t really hurt anything, and it’s gone in two days rather than two month. Hooray!
Yes, you have assessed it correctly, Linda. The old farmer’s called it, “poor man’s fertilizer.”
No snow to speak of in central Maine. A spitting of snow in the afternoon. None on the ground. Better yet, no wind. Funny how the areas in New England are so different.
Wow, surprising you had little snow. Apparently, mid-state got even more than we did. It won’t last long. 🙂
Right? Weather patterns are often fickle. The snow won’t last long, and rain or snow, we all needed the moisture.
The daffodils must be very hardy, but I guess they have acclimatized to the occasional Spring snowfall.
Yes, they are pretty tough, thankfully. All are grateful for the precipitation!
You even make the chilly setback look attractive, While it is only 6 degrees C here before sunrise, we can expect a mild summery day as autumn tends to be a betwixt and between season in South Africa.
Thank you, Anne. The snow highlights the beauty of everything, making it so easy to enjoy.
Yep….April can be fickle!
Sure can, and the garden is happy about the rain/snow.
A little different from the snow I slept on last night. Snow is Good
I definitely prefer a warmer bed. 😉 But outdoor sleeping is often some of the best. 🙂
Here in the UK, we had a twenty-minute snow flurry the other day, fascinating to watch!
Watching the storm from inside was beautiful. It melts so quickly, it didn’t bother me that it was snowing. The plants are very happy. 🙂
Short lived, but magical!
Yes!
We received a few inches much of which melted already. Towards Worcester got much more than that. Even though it was melting I still did a little shoveling just to show the snow who’s boss. 🙂 Should add a bit more flow to your brook.
The waterfall was roaring all night!
Those late snowfalls don’t stick around too long. Poor daffodils though.
Yes, they look pretty mooshed right now. 😉
After a couple of weeks of working outside, it was a little strange to see a snowstorm. The big plus was the moisture because we are in dire need of it. Now, it can be gone so we can get back to spring. 🙂
It was nice to take a day off. 😉 Grateful for the moisture… now watch them leap out of the ground!
makes for a pretty picture tho’. Waves good morning!
Thank you, it is pretty, for sure, and I’m grateful for the land getting a good drink. Hope you are feeling better!
It’s SO discouraging though. We got a foot! I think the plants can take it better than us.
“This, too, shall pass.” 😉
It looks exactly the same here in western Maine. Still snowing and so grateful that we finally got some much needed moisture.
Agreed, we desperately needed the rain/snow.
Grateful for the water, whatever form is arrives in. I think I heard the earth sigh in relief……
Yes, it was a good and proper soaking. The waterfall and river were loud!
Oh poor daffs! And poor you, just when you might have begun to think things were improving. Hope it melts quickly!
MJ
Thank you, MJ. Temps will be around 10C today, so it’ll go fast. “Poor man’s fertilizer.” 😉
Oh! I wasn’t expecting this, but doesn’t the yellow and green of the daffodils look beautiful against the snow? I’m pleased to hear they can cope with the sudden cold. 🙂
The snow brightens the yard and everything in it. I expect the daffodils will have recovered by the end of the day. 🙂
The good thing is that is doesn’t last for long.
Yes, it makes it easier to take. 🙂
The daffodils just might be thinking: “ha, ha, snow, we were first!” Thanks for the water, mother Nature…we needed it…even if it came in flake form, in some places.
It’s all good… 😉
I like how hardy the Spring Flowers are/have to be. Great pictures and hope it warms back up for you soon.
Thank you, Vicki, hopefully tomorrow!
Daffs are tough aren’t they. Hope you get back to spring tomorrow.
Thank you, Karina. That’s my hope, too!
I’m glad you’re able to take that in stride!
It is easy when you know it’ll melt within a day! 😉
Just when you thought it was spring!!! 🌸🤔
Yes, nature is full of surprises! 🙂
Being a daff isn’t for sissies! 😀
I guess not! 🙂
Oh … I’ve always said spring is a big tease! We got more snow here Thursday and Friday night.
Yes! At least it melts quickly when the sun shines. 🙂
Oh, no! Your snow pic suddenly made me appreciate our slightly warmer temps that much more. Sending some sunshine over your way. 😁
Thank you, Irene! It has all melted and the daffodils are valiantly trying to rise up again. 🙂
Good! 😁
Oh no! We don’t seem to be quite out of winter either. Still getting frosts and a bit of snow although daytime temperatures are supposed to reach 15c this week.
Old Man Winter still has a few things to share. 😉
I love the way spring (autumn, too) looks in a brief snow. Lovely photos, Eliza. 🙂 We’re experiencing a typical NE Ohio spring with highs in the 80’s one day and snow/sleet the next. I think there IS some snow in the forecast this week.
Thank you, Robin. Shoulder seasons always hold surprises. 🙂
The snow melting quickly is the only good thing about April snow, even though the daffodils still look lovely against the snow. Our forecast has a chance of 1-3 inches of snow during the week and I hope they are wrong!!
Hope it warms up again soon Eliza. We have had the coldest April on record I believe, but temperatures are very slowly rising.
It is a bit warmer today, the temps fluctuate a lot lately, it seems. But the moisture was most welcome.
April here has had similar contrasts. Haven’t planted anything out yet! But bluebells are out now.
Nice to see bluebells this time of year. Spring is such a happy time!
