Most of the recent snow probably will melt with warmer temperatures and predicted rain so maybe the ground will be visible again, although it will be brown instead of green until the grass starts growing again.

The robins got their tails snowed on again yesterday, so after one more time, spring can finally come. The clouds didn’t know that meteorological spring started on Tuesday so it didn’t need to drop more flakes so apparently it is following astronomical spring instead.

The work week ends on Friday for some people, but for this old fishing boat, the working week ended a long time ago as the Eagle was retired in 1972.

If the seagulls where standing around my pond this morning, their feet would be frozen in ice and any sandy beach area would be snow covered. Eventually spring will come and the birds can run up and down the beach ahead of the waves.

With below freezing temperatures, the snow isn’t melting and dripping off the roof yet this morning. A better view of dripping and falling water is from a warmer day like at the hidden, out of the way waterfall of Lost Creek Falls. And when the lost became ‘founded’, it was a very relaxing place to behold.

April showers bring May flowers but February showers just bring snow which may or may not eventually melt in March. But definitely no flowers to be seen and no toadstool poking up either. The only white bumps on the ground is snow covered rocks instead.

Today is a day to catch up our current Gregorian calendar to the actual solar year with a extra day in this leap year. Unless the earth is shoved into a different orbit, a complete orbit of the earth around the sun takes exactly 365.2422 days to complete, so the Gregorian calendar using 365 days gets out of whack without adding an extra day every four years. But every four years is too much so the extra rule of any centennial year that is divisible by 400 does have a leap day. But even all the extra tweaking, the leap year rules still adds an extra half minute a year so in 3,000 years or so, people decide what to do.
This old building has seen plenty of leap years and time has not leaped over it but instead the building has endured the harsh weather of the years and it may not see a great number of leap years in its future.

There was sun dogs in the sky last evening but by the time I got my camera, the mini rainbows of the sun dogs had faded away as the thicker clouds moved in. And those thicker clouds this morning are dropping huge snowflakes again but at least there was a pretty sunset last evening.

Some water was running from the melting snow today as the temperatures reached fifty degrees but not warm enough for me to fishing from shore, especially when the lakes and most rivers are still frozen.

During the night, I had a black & white visitor but it was a rather smelly one! This is the second visit in a week’s time, so I rather the skunk went to some other house to visit for a while as I rather cuddle a black and white kitty who doesn’t smell so bad.
