Wednesday on my way home, I stopped at Sandogardy Pond to look at the snow. It was the middle of a weekday, so no one else was there. It was the first day of a warm up following days of bitter cold. Though the temperature was barely above freezing, it was enough to create a fairly dense fog. That makes photography something of a challenge, but I did what I could:
Sandogardy’s Silent Sentry
This guy was out on the ice doing sentry duty.
Since then, the temperature continued to increase and was accompanied by heavy rain. The roads turned to mud and my beloved snow was washed away. We had a slight dusting today though, but it doesn’t come close to replenishing the ground cover. The forecast says we can expect a couple of inches on Sunday though.
But I want more.

You’ve had some pretty wide swings in temperature lately. We’ve had some of that too. Still hoping for more snow at the low elevations: we need it badly.
I stood sentry duty too, way back when. I remember it was something like that, too.

Cold and lonely?

I don’t know about snow, but cold air is headed your way! We went from the upper 50′s and thundershowers back down to zero at night. It’s been snowing heavily, but that’s most lake effect.

It’s 10 degrees here now, just after sunrise. We have a couple of inches of snow in the forecast, so maybe we’ll luck out.

We had the same thing happen here. Snow all over the place Wednesday night and none on thursday morning. This winter is even stranger than last, with it’s wild temperature swings.

But at least we’ve had snow this winter.

Beloved snow? We must not have raised you right!

LOL. Yes, I do love the snow!
