Last week we had weather nice enough to turn off the furnace and open up the windows. Then the temperatures fell back to normal and we closed the house up again. Today the calendar said it was the first day of spring, but winter didn't get the memo. This morning the sky was filled with large snowflakes. They melted as soon as they hit the street and sidewalk, but the grass and deck got covered with a light layer of white stuff.
The snow didn't last long; at lunchtime the temperature was above freezing and by mid-afternoon it was in the mid-40s. Winter isn't ready to leave yet, though. There's a freeze warning for tonight, which means bad news for the blooming trees and plants.

I hear from the daughter that it's the same in Chicago. Temperature wise anyway.
ReplyDeleteI think we're usually pretty much the same as Chicago.
DeleteI heard Boston's under a storm watch and schools closed tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteWow! I haven't listened to any national broadcasts and that's news to me.
DeleteGood Heavens. So very different here on Canada's west coast. The daffodils are blooming and the tulips are threatening. Lots of rain in the forecast. Hope your blooming trees and plants are spared.
ReplyDeleteThe plants in my neighborhood seen to have escaped any damage. I hope the commercial orchards and growers did. too.
DeleteI hate it when late freezes come right after the trees have flowered. Then I worry there will be no cherries later on.
ReplyDeleteYes, late freezes in your are affect the cherries, and around here they're bad for apples and peaches.
