When I woke up this morning it seemed brighter than usual. It had snowed overnight so I was waking up to a world of white. We probably had about 2 cm of snow on the ground.
It s normal to get snow at this time of year and sometimes we can get a storm with lots of snow.
It was foggy this morning so it was a very dull day.
However, my blue bells are coming up.
Good gosh! THAT is a lot of snow for April. And here I thought Chicago got lots of late snow... but not usually in April. I hope your bluebells survive, Red.
ReplyDeleteWe also had snow the day before. Blue bells are tough and they will survive.
Delete70 F predicted here for later today - unseasonal but not as rare as snow. Unsurprisingly perhaps I also spotted a few bluebells on yesterday's stroll.
ReplyDeleteBlue bells and daffodils are some of the early blooms.
DeletePretty snow scenes. Is it Spring yet? Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's spring but we have our own spring weather and it's wacky.
DeleteSo I presume that when Spring/Summer arrives it gets on with things fast!!
ReplyDeleteYou've got it. the days are very long so plants develop at a very rapid rate.
DeleteHi Red, Quick question: By today, April 6, I would guess Red Deer has experienced winter-style weather for around 6 months. At this point, when you have a late snow, like this one in your post, what do you hear from locals? Do they like it, not like it, or maybe just don’t care? John
ReplyDeleteWell nobody likes it. We do care as we've had enough snow. By my count it's 5 months. Snow usually doesn't start until November.
DeleteI can’t get accustomed to fog and snow. It just doesn’t feel right somehow.
ReplyDeleteWe each have our own take on winter and poor weather.
DeleteWell, congratulations on getting those bluebells past the white stuff!
ReplyDeleteBlue bells are tough. Many times I've seen them covered in snow.
DeleteAs you know, we also had our share. I think it will go away soon, maybe even today.
ReplyDeleteYes, snow melts quickly at this time of year.
DeleteYeesh!
ReplyDeleteYeesh, yeesh. I'm here so have to put up with it and have experienced it and know how to handle things.
DeleteOur snow is falling cherry blossoms. Yours is the real stuff!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I have experienced cherry blossom drop. I also have Nanking cherries and they have lots of blooms but not for a while yet.
DeleteWe had snow here this morning but not as much as you and ours is gone now several hours later.
ReplyDeleteSnow melts rapidly at this time of year.
DeleteWe hope to hit the 60s during the week and I can't wait.
ReplyDelete60 would be nice.
ReplyDeleteIt was 50 F here today, but we could really use the moisture! Pretty snow!
ReplyDeleteYour Blue Bells look pretty with snow on them but they will look so much prettier when that white is gone, which I am thinking could be about now as I write this comment!
ReplyDeleteReading this makes our 17degrees C seem quite balmy.
ReplyDeleteThat is some pretty snow!
ReplyDeleteyour winters are stubborn to leave yet blue bells are around i believe !
