For the two years we lived on the Canadian border, we experienced severe winter storms on March 14th. Both years.
Honestly, that sort of thing was one of the reasons we moved.
I was not expecting March 14th to feature heavy snow here in New Mexico. I don't think it will. March 4th, however?
This is pretty severe winter weather for our current location.
It all started with ice on Saturday night, which ensured that the subsequent snow would stick to everything. It dropped into the single digits last night and hasn't been above freezing for 48 hours now.
The big difference here is that it was almost 70 degrees the day before all this started, and it's going to be 70 degrees again on Thursday.
I can take a winter storm in March when I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be seeing winter weather for the next two months.
Surprise !
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Thanks for braving your white winter wonderland for our benefit! Hope your heating system is working to keep everything, if not toasty, at least warm.
ReplyDeleteYes! My siblings and I remember playing in the snowdrifts with no coats on as kids in New Mexico -- we'd have a snowstorm and a day or two later, it'd be sunny and 60 degrees. Makes it pretty hard to legitimately complain about the snow. :)
ReplyDeleteBoy, I sure hope your lettuce is safe & warm, still in the broken laundry basket with a light on.

Linda: Most of it is still in the laundry basket. The plants that are outside under glass are tucked in with sheets of foam insulation over the glass and an old down matress pad over that. Yes, for real. :-)
