They are calling this a Historic Blizzard – Saturday, April 14, 2018.
We have been out of town for three weeks and when we drove into our driveway at the end of last week it was disappointing to still have snow in our yard.
And then we heard the forecast…a winter storm warning. And this time they were right. 12-15″ of snow and strong winds were predicted, and it came. Lots of snow and sleet, and very strong winds swirling the snow around into drifts and corners and clinging to windows. They are calling this the Historic Blizzard because this is the middle of April.
We tucked ourselves in, sat near the fireplace, and waited out the storm. (Although we did go for a walk in the snow last evening…we couldn’t resist being out in it.)
This morning Gary plowed out our driveway and there is whiteness everywhere.
We are so ready for spring.
Lovely pictures! For what it’s worth, I remember a similar storm in mid-April I think in the early 80’s. Public transportation and everything else came to a halt in St. Paul, where I was living at the time. But that was way back in the last century . . . Spring would be a nice change from all this whiteness.
I think I remember it too. And I remember snow in May but not this much. 😉
Oh my….feel so sorry for you guys😱 Hopefully it will go away fast👍
We are having very nice spring weather here in 🇳🇴 Yesterday it was 68 and sunny🌞😎 Not that warm today but around 60. We are at the cabin, cleaning and making it ready for the season👏👏👏
Take care😘
I wish we were at your cabin right now! 😉
Welcome home! Never a dull moment!
Thanks. True, the weather is not dull in Minnesota
That’s a lot of snow! What a crazy Spring…
It is a lot of snow. Gary is plowing again tonight…it lightly snowed all day. Did you get any?
I, too, remember that May storm of several years ago. But it was not nearly as bad as this one. The duration of this storm over three days is something I don’t recall experiencing. It just never stopped snowing.
We missed our granddaughter’s second birthday party on Sunday. We didn’t want to risk travel, especially into the metro, on an icy interstate with the wind driving snow. I was (and still am) a sad grandma. I had no idea I would feel so sad. The party could not be rescheduled as the paternal grandparents, uncle and aunt were there from California. They arrived on Thursday, before the storm, and enjoyed their first-ever blizzard.
I would be sad too, to miss a granddaughter’s second birthday party. Our granddaughter’s first birthday party is this Sunday. I don’t want to miss it.
