The snow dumped by the storm made today look more like the day before Christmas than the day before Thanksgiving. And it doesn’t sound like any of it will be melting before the next winter storm comes.

This afternoon I was trying to mulch up some of the leaves which were piling up too deep, but I didn’t get all the leaves, especially the recent falling oak leaves, before the snow moved in this evening.

When I was walking along the shore of Lake Superior today, I thought I had found a unique white rock embedded in the red layers. But on closer inspection, the rock which I couldn’t reach the top of, wasn’t a rock but snow which still hasn’t melted yet even though it is the middle of May on a seventy degree day.

My lawn is soggy again but lucky it was only rain and not snow like the ten inches which fell farther to the north. Although six years ago, there was eighteen inches of snow in my yard after a snow storm in May.

The sunny and warm day helped to melt most of the recent snow and the water surrounded the old willow tree again but not quite as bad as the first main snow melt.

I don’t know where spring went since I had to walk through ten inches of snow to get to the bird feeder today. And the blowing snow, sleet, freezing rain, thunder and roaring winds did not look or feel like spring at all.

The pair of wood ducks were checking out a duck house this morning, before the snow came so I wonder if they will head south now. And the spring birds are not the only birds having trouble finding food this evening as even the winter birds had problems locating seeds in the snow covered feeder.

I spotted these “creatures” in the road ditch. I didn’t know if they look more like soldiers in camouflage, cavemen in woolly mammoth coats or some other scary creature hiding along the road. But these creatures will eventually melt like the wicked witch of the west, whenever the sunshine can penetrate their pine needle coats.

The scene out my front door doesn’t really look like the first full day of spring as it appears more like winter to me.

I posted this image a few years ago and it seems appropriate again for this year too.

The snow covered driveway yesterday was a better option than the slippery mess the rain left today. I used snowshoes that has spikes on the bottom to make it up my icy driveway to get the mail. Even one of the farm cats slid downhill on the ice and more rain tonight will polish the ice some more.
