April Snow
We woke this morning to .6 of an inch of snow!
The first time in recorded history that measurable snow fell on April 15.
The Bradford pear trees in the backyard.
Are those blossoms or snow?
Officially, the snow total for this area for the 2013/2014 winter is 47.5 inches.
We are now in second place for accumulated snow fall.
The winter of 1977/1978 recorded an accumulation of 53.9 inches of snow.
Ah! So maybe it was the blossoms.
Notice the remaining snow on the north side of the trunks.
The spiraea is covered with snow.
The irises seem oblivious.
We have a couple of days of chilly weather before more
seasonable temperatures return.
