Monday was a beautiful day. Neighbours were out doing yard work, mowing lawns . I noticed that I had one little crocus in my flower bed and probably about 100 tulips all in bud. Nice end to April.
Er, no!
Woke up yesterday morning and this is what we saw!! Five inches of wet, heavy snow. Fortunately for us the neighbours had already shovelled the walks for us. The temperature was high enough that the snow on the roads soon turned to sloppy soup and dried up. But not before there had been many accidents around the city. All the lawns are white and will be for a while. We are expecting the same amount of snow again today. It's times like this we are so glad we are retired and don't have to go out if we don't want/have to.
Garry's surgery has been delayed. It's now May 9th. Fortunately only one weeks delay. We were told we are very lucky it is only a week as some were delayed for over a month! No reason given.
We got a lovely inch of needed rain. You can keep the snow.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yesterday and today we kept getting a mixture of snow, rain and hail! At least it melted a lot of the snow.
DeleteI hope the tulips survive. You have massive weather changes!
ReplyDeleteThe tulips seem to have bounced back. This is very typical of spring weather in the foothills of the Rockie Mountains!! We are supposed to get a mixture of snow and rain for the next 5 days.
DeleteI'm not certain how I missed this post. I'd heard your area had received snow, we saw only a bit of rain and not heavy at all.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your husband on his surgery!
