River Road

Yesterday, it was spilling over in the form of a puddle in two different places.  As of today, they have closed a section of River Road.  While it’s still not that bad, it makes sense that they closed the road.  When you look at the river itself, it’s a lot of water and it’s moving fast.

Rhubarb Resilience

 


After the 04/01 storm, we have had a run of snow-free weather such that almost all of it has melted.  This past week, we had temperatures hit the 70s and even 80s.  Today, we are getting snow, although it’s hard for it to do much accumulating.

April Fool’s Day

It’s been a long, long winter.  It’s the first time that it’s ever tested my love of winter and snow.  I really needed the  several week break from new snow and a lot of melt-off, which was fortunate since I woke up to 9 inches of fresh, wet snow on April Fool’s Day.  It was in the forecast, so it was not a surprise.  It also helps that even thought it was heavy wet snow that was hard to shovel, it was also beautiful!!!

The first picture was from my phone.  One of the cats was looking out the window and the light was lovely just in time to take picture. 


Right after taking this picture, I bundled up and went to explore my yard and the block.  




I also have two other pictures from my neighborhood.  These are taken in mid-March.  


Someone "official" must have spotted the cross walk because it's been turned back to "normal".  While it was like this it made me laugh everytime I saw it.
