Meanwhile I'm left looking forward to spring from winter. Today we had a high of minus 12 C (10 F). There was a blustery wind. It was far from a spring day. It would even be classified as a nasty winter day.
Needless to say, very little winter snow has melted. The first snow melts off the roof. From my photo you can see that snow is still on the roof of all houses.
So at 7:30 Pm I was sadly looking out the window when I thought this is a good day to mark a very late spring.
So lots of snow on the roof.
I noticed the evening sun on a wall. When I looked at the photo I thought this would be good for one of those fence photos. You can see three separate fences and a shadow of a fence.
We are slightly unseasonably cold here, but not YOUR KIND OF COLD!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of our colder springs.
DeleteI'm sorry you still have so much snow and cold weather. Spring has been slow in coming for us but not as slow as for you. We are just now getting some days where we can open the windows a bit during the day.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very interesting picture with all the fences in one shot! The sunlight and the shadows enhance it too. Take care Red!
I did not see all the fences util I was processing the photo.
DeleteWe are a bit cold here in Vancouver too. In fact Surrey and other places had snow today.
ReplyDeleteWow! Snow in Surrey. I'll bet there was snow in Maple Ridge but my son wouldn't tell me.
DeleteThe angle of the light in that last photo is very attractive. I am so sorry for your winter, but I am sure it will spin into spring pretty soon now. We got no snow this winter, and I still miss that.
ReplyDeleteWe will get spring and I will enjoy it. It means I can spend much time outside.
DeleteIt is badly divided in the world. I was desperate waiting for snow this winter, but we only had rains. Your time will come I am sure!
ReplyDeleteIt's climate change we have to talk about. these changes bring about different weather patterns.
DeleteI think you are illustrating many of the reasons I would never wish to live in the prairies.
ReplyDeleteHey, the prairies have lots of good stuff. Grasslands are awesome birding areas.
DeleteThey are indeed, Red, and to my eternal shame I have never birded them. Maybe it's time for a road trip across the country.
DeleteThat is a lot of snow still.
ReplyDeleteUsually our snow is long gone by now.
DeleteHappy April, The last shot is nice with the sunlight, shadows and fences. Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteApril is an enjoyable month with all the birds coming back.
DeleteI hope it all warms up for you! I remember my brother telling me in April he was mowing his lawn in B.C.!
ReplyDeleteUsually our snow is gone by now.
DeleteYou still have winter! We are cold today and could get snow later:)
ReplyDeleteIt hurts to say that I still have winter but it's the truth.
DeleteIt really is still snowy cold and wintry there. I hope spring arrives soon. This morning it is 31F degrees here on the north coast of California. Literally freezing. Brrrr...
ReplyDeleteWe still can't see an end to the cold for the next seven days.
DeleteI live in NE Alberta. The thermometer read -28C this morning. There was a 4-5 in snowfall a few days ago so there's lots of snow to shovel. The snowplow just went by this morning. There's something reassuring about having the snow removed and roads cleared even if there's no where to go. I'm thankful for sun shine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Hiawatha house. We had the snow too. I have a long northern history . Many of my older posts are about my life in the Arctic.
DeleteOh my, it IS still cold out your way. We've had a very mild winter but being near the water that means a lot of snow. It snows, it melts, it snows, it melts, etc. Hopefully your spring will start soon.
ReplyDeleteI would not do well with rain and slushy snow. We get powdery snow. It's much easier to shovel.
DeleteThat is quite a bit of snow left but the sun will take it away once it comes and stays out.
ReplyDeleteThe sun is coming down more directly so there's more energy and our snow will melt.
DeleteWe had nice spring weather but we've been back to cold for about a week. This weekend is supposed to be nice, though, and fortunately we have no snow! Hopefully yours will melt soon.
ReplyDeleteYou get so much rain. I wouldn't do well with a lot of rain.
DeleteIt's been a cold spring so far, but like Linda said, nothing like yours! I do like that fence picture. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's all relative. Your cold spring is cold on your terms.
DeleteHello, Red. I've lurked awhile, and finally joined up. I wish your weather were better. If I could, I would fix that 44th parallel problem. We have winters like this here on the south shore of Lake Erie. Lake effect, they call it. But global warming has shouldered that aside, lately.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following Hiawatha House. We don't know what will happen with climate change just like we don't know about the virus.
DeleteOur weather can't make its mind up. One day it was nearly 80 deg. F., the next 40 degrees cooler. And now it's back to being chilly again. Hope your snow starts melting soon.
ReplyDeleteweather patterns have changed.
Deletei bet spring is near you dear Red :)
ReplyDeletethank you for these enchanting glimpse of sun and shadows
so Fascinating !!!
Here most of the snow is gone.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a few days of rain and chilly weather, which interfered with our walks. But as I write this, it looks like we're going to have a sunny day, so we can get out and get some air!
