Historic Blizzard

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.

Our back deck, photo taken Sunday morning.

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.

Blowing snow covered our living room windows, photo take 4/14.
We had several birds at our feeder during the storm.

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.)

We walked by Pond One…there was open water and a duck swimming.

This morning Gary plowed out our driveway and there is whiteness everywhere.

Thankful for a snowblower (and an operator!)

We are so ready for spring.
