….thanks to Jez for hosting I’m a fan of…..https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2022/03/14/weekend-sky-59-fan-of-147/

Yesterday much of the snow was off the ground and the geese and ducks wandered onto the grass and started eating the turf.

A Winter Wonderland In March

….after yesterdays gently falling snow

The snow had completely melted from everyone’s properties, the roads and sidewalks were clear and then this happened. For most of the day the temperatures were hovering just above freezing and even though it had been snowing for hours most of it melted when it hit the ground. Later in the day the temperature dropped to just below freezing and the snow started to stick to everything. There was no wind. Driving home from a shopping trip I felt like I had been transported into a magical winter village. Before going into the house I took a stroll up the street and took a few photos.

Water, Water Everywhere – March 7, 2022

…thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2022/03/07/swan-water-water-everywhere-116/

As the temperatures rise, the ice on the pond is melting to reveal water below. After today’s rain and yesterday’s balmy temperatures most of this ice will have melted.

Snow, Snow and More Snow

…it’s been quite the year for accumulations of snow

After a couple of warmer days much of the snow has melted but there are still snow banks at the edges of peoples driveways and unmelted snow in the parks. We’ve been having this thaw, freeze, thaw cycle of weather for the last month and in between we’ve been getting more snow. For the rest of the week and into next week there are at least four days of snow forecast. Here are some of the days right after a night of gently falling snow.
