Yesterday, according to my calendar, was the first day of spring, and this is what greeted me when I got up this morning.
Snow, and not just a dusting. Ah, March. No matter how you might lull us into thinking that spring is here, you always have a little snowstorm up your sleeve to show us who’s boss.
Once more, Little Green will be pressed into service to clean the driveway. Out will come the shovels, and the scraper for the car. Fortunately, the snow is light, and it doesn’t look as though there will be power outages. For this we must be very grateful.
The snow won’t last long. Still, even though I know this, a snowstorm the end of March feels like a setback.
And I don’t like it. Not one little bit.
Notes From the Hinterland 
It doesn’t look too bad and I bet it’ll melt quickly. Spring will have its way eventually!
Thank goodness! We are ready.
How disappointing but it does look pretty 🙂
Yes, and it will be gone soon. In the meantime, we Mainers love to grumble…
Oh that sneaky, late spring snowfall! Ha! It seems to wait until one has changed gears and is all set for Spring! Oh well, take heart – you are right that it should be gone soon. The moisture will also help the flowers bloom once everything warms up. And if all else fails… Perfect snowman (or snow fight) weather! 🙂
Carina, right you are.
Not to worry! It will be GONE very quickly. It’s a good opportunity to run the snowblower dry. We’re going to blow until the gas runs out, then just quit, wherever we happen to be with the clearing. I’m taking bets we have enough gas in the machine to finish the job. R says we don’t. We shall see. 😉 XOXOOX
Hope you won, Burni.
Ditto to your last line. 🙂
Oh bleuh…snow in Spring….
😦
We had about 8 inches here and there is still some lingering. Ugh.
We only had three or four inches, but sigh!
