It finally got above freezing today so instead of more snow today, rain is falling and melting some of the snow off the roof but not enough to flow like a little waterfall yet.

Blue skies and the remaining hardy oak leaves help lessen the white look of long winter.

Morning revealed new snow drifts and it was harder to shovel since it was heavy snow. The long winter has me dreaming of sitting on a beach where the water isn’t frozen and sand instead of snow.

The strong winds ahead of the snow storm caused pine cones and some remaining oak leaves to fall. Although the fallen oak leaves on the snow were brown compared to autumn when they first started to turn colors.

The sunshine melted some of the roads and even some hints of ground was showing where the plows scraped along the road shoulders. Green foliage and purple blossoms won’t be seen for a while especially with another snow storm coming tomorrow.

White clouds and green grass makes a better scene than white clouds over white snow. And with more snow coming this weekend, it may be a while before any grass starts again.

With some frost on the trees overnight and morning flurries, March continues to stay very white as winter refuses to loosen its grip.

Even with a string of below zero temperatures, there are some streams and rivers with a steady flow of water to keep it from freezing over.

With snow waist deep this week, it is hard to remember that wildflowers have been found some years in March. It doesn’t look like it will happen this year and it is a guess when the first Hepatica blossoms will be spotted in the woods.

The groundhog was a bit off on his early spring prediction with record setting low highs today so the piles of snow didn’t have much of a chance to melt much even with the sun out on this cold March Sunday.
