Another Good Dump of Snow


      Last night we had another 5 cm of snow and it snowed all day. This spring storm was forecast for Alberta so we were expecting it and it wasn't a big surprise. I looked out at 3 AM and the sky was full of snow as it was snowing heavily. So by the end of the day we had a good dump of snow.

      Now some of you may be saying, "Why is he telling me about all the snow?"  I know that some of you do not want to hear about snow at all. But I thought if I tell you about all the snow here it will make you feel so great that you don't have snow. Probably 95% of readers will be in the no snow category. 5 % will still be in winter mode so it doesn't matter.

March snow


     Heavy spring snow storms are common here. We get most of our snow in March. It doesn't worry me as I know that our snow will disappear quite quickly as the days are lengthening rapidly. The sun rose at 7:38 this morning and sets at 7:49 tonight so we get a little more than 12 hours of sun.

     I saw the first crow yesterday which is a good sign of spring. This morning at 7 AM about 20 crows were sitting in a big poplar tree about a block from my house. Crows are very hardy birds and they will have little difficulty putting up with a spring snow storm.

    Well, at least you didn't put pictures of snow in your post. I've seen quite enough of it this winter, thank you very much, and now it's spring! Yes, it's here, Red, so let's see some signs of spring in your part of the world. I'd love to see you branch out with pictures...

    Rae, I'll make you feel better again today. We're still getting dumped on. 20 cm in the mountains at higher elevations for the next two days.

    Point well taken about pictures . I have blogged about my not using pictures. I don't start with an image in my mind. I have made attempts at pictures and building my post around the picture. Since we're still being dumped on today I can take some pictures and add them to my post.
    I'm not worried about spring. Spring has come for 71 years and it will come again!

    You're right.. I do feel better but we're supposed to be getting some snow of our own mid week.

    And crows.. I love those intelligent beings. :)

    You can always start a debate when you mention crows.
