A new coating of snow covered the ground last evening, but the morning’s wind removed another bit of the autumn as one of the few remaining oak leaves fell and stabbed into the new snow.

With little clouds in the sky this evening, the temperatures dropped close to zero rather quickly. And since it is cold, I don’t think I will be sitting outside to watch the meteor shower.

Yesterday morning revealed icy branches sparkling in the sunlight and snow covered ground. While some of the snow melted in the afternoon sun, additional snow fell today to recoat the ground.

The morning revealed a heavy layer of white stuff and the eight inches of snow weighted down tree limbs. Autumn disappeared as winter rushed in very early this year.

It wasn’t a dream that it looked like Christmas yesterday instead of Easter as this morning the ground was still white even if the morning sun make it less depressing than prior cloudy day. But the clouds rolled back in and more snow fell to cover areas that were starting to melt. At least my pond didn’t freeze over yet and although I didn’t see any ducks swimming there this morning, there was duck tracks in the snow by the edge.

I think Easter Bunny needed Santa’s sleigh to deliver the eggs today. And the bunny would have a very easy time hiding the eggs since the snow would cover them quickly. It definitely looked more like Christmas than Easter this year.

The sun was out and it shown bright on the new layer of snow. I watched the poor wood ducks waddle through the snow after they took a swim in the steam rising pond. The tree limbs sparkled with the ice coating but by afternoon, the sun was able to melt a majority of the snow and the ice under the snow layer.

The April’s Fool joke sent by Mother Nature didn’t arrive on the 1st but was apparently delayed until today when the rain turned to ice and then to snow which covered the ground in a new white coating.

Mother Nature sure giving plenty of opportunities for snow to land on those robins. And with the couple of inches this morning, those bird tails should have been coated well so maybe it will stop snowing and spring can finally arrive.
Very Unspringlike

Spring arrived late this evening, but it sure didn’t look or feel like spring as snow was falling. And now the wind is rattling the trees making it feel even colder.
