Yay! Let’s hear it for Spring!! Great pics!
Thanks! The sad thing is that winter came back hard Sunday and yesterday. I’ll be posting those a little later. So bad in eastern Arkansas, they’ve sent in the National Guard to help out people stuck on I-40 and I-55.
Same here but not quite as bad. After temps in the low 70s for Sunday and Monday, they really dropped and we hit freezing.
Yesterday at 8pm over 50% of the U.S. was at or below freezing. Very unusual for March 3.
Wow! Had no idea that so many of us were shivering yesterday! C’mon spring!
NICE! Not even close here yet, just ugly iced-black snow.
Sadly, we had a set back earlier this week with two inches of sleet atop a quarter inch of freezing rain, all topped with snow.
However it’s in the 60s today, the snow has gone and even saw a butterfly today!
Nice!!
Oh no! Nine more days for Spring to kick winter out. Hope it happens soon!
Let’s hope spring comes soon and washes all your ‘snert’ away.
Your cheery photos give me hope. Spring is coming . . . someday. It just rains and rains, and although there is some greenery popping up out of the black mud, we are a long way from flowers blooming.
although on a drive to the coast last Sunday–still February!–we saw a fully flowering pink tree–an ornamental plum–the first one in the country to bloom maybe 🙂
Wow! What a beautiful sight in February! May spring come your way soon. We are back up in the 60s today, a week after our big winter storm.
