We'd been having a pretty snow-light winter. Cold, windy, but pretty dry. So, we were kind of excited when the weatherperson predicted snow. (You know where this is going already, don't you?)
We got 18 inches of super-wet, heavy snow.
(That's a magnolia that used to be much more lofty and vertical and I could walk beneath it...)Trees began snapping from the weight of the snow around 8:00 a.m., and we couldn't get to them fast enough - apple trees, magnolia, fruit bushes, hydrangea, quince and on and on...
Four hours of clearing and cleaning till we salvaged what we could...
Perfect day to stay inside and knit - (I was too tired!)
And then 8 more inches the next day...an inch today...
Enough already!!
I am SOOOOO ready for Spring.
One start...
and one finish...

Getting a lot of snow like that when you aren't used to it can be bad.
Hey twin, looks like our vests coordinate!!! Sorry about all the snow; don't you feel terrible when the trees and shrubs start snapping?
That's terrible! Sorry to see your chicken pen collapsed. I think everyone is ready for spring this year!Old Man Winter is taking some kind of new vitamins or something this year!
Are the chickens OK?
Poor chickens! We lucked out and only had to patch up the net on top of our run.
I wish that was my maple tree with a bucket under a drip :O)... mmmmmm
