Still no appreciable snowfall.  It is March sixth.  We were supposed to get a few inches of snow last night but nothing happened.  Will we go through the whole winter and not get one snowfall greater than an inch or two.  Spring is now fourteen days away.  I still remember the winter snow lay on the ground for months (1996).  It did not happen this year.

Winter Is Slipping Away

Author: siggy

Winter is slipping away.  Now spring is approximately five weeks away.  Today we might get some snow but the snowfall they are calling for is minor.  The New England states are going to be hit much harder.  There have been no major snowfalls this year but I am not dismissing winter yet.  It still has a ways to go.  We have had some bone chilling temperatures but most of winter so far has been mild, which does not mean I will not welcome spring and its corresponding warmer weather.  I will.  I just tolerate winter.  And dress warmer when It gets colder.  I don’t know what else to do.

It has been snowing for awhile and everything is white.  The snow is a wet, heavy one.  I have never seen our lilac bush so bent.  I am not going anywhere so I might as well enjoy the scenery viewed from my back and front window.  The branches of trees are all bent by the weight of the snow.  It is only an half a dozen times a year I might see the white landscape.  I made sure my bird feeder was full this morning with sunflower seed.  I know the birds have to forage a little harder in the snow but they have to eat, too.
