Look at the photo below and tell me what element in this scene is out of place? I don’t mean to be unduly tough on you, but you have only one guess.
If you guessed ‘snow’ you are 100% correct.
What the ???? It was nearly 70 degrees on Friday, in the 50’s on Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday, I was cleaning up the garden. This morning, I awoke to this nightmarish sight. To say that we were shocked and depressed is putting it mildly. And we might get more on Wednesday.
It’s heavy and wet, part rain, part snow. It is to be colder than normal this week as well. Oh March, you are a fickle month!
I had to have some hot chocolate and cookies. Comfort food.
Joanne says
I hear Ya! Same thing happening here. Got the March teasin’ the heck out of me blues. Blessings, Joanne

The Garden Bell says
You poor thing. What a bummer.
Tammy says
OH no… I hate to say but you can keep it. I have seen enough of it this winter and we dont normally see it that much but 8 days in a row was all I could stand.
I feel for you and all I can say is hang on and its a good thing you did not plant any flowers yet.
Think Spring…
ImagiMeri says
Dearest Claudia,
Today I feel your pain……..we’ve had wind and rain all day after having almost 90 degree weather last week. I’m not looking forward to the triple digits, but if there were any way to live out here and keep it in the 75-80 degree range I would be in heaven. Try to have a great week anyway.
Love ya’
Meri
Norma says
It sure does look gorgeous but I’d be well and truly over the cold too – long before now!!
Createology says
SNOWPRISE! That was our local newspaper headline this weekend. Some Spring greeting…
Connie says
Well, sweetpea, I’d say hot chocolate WITH MARSHMALLOWS is in line for this catastrophe. Cold icy rain here the past couple of days also. And we’re desert!
xoxo,
Connie

Mercy heavens, but I feel your pain. here in southern Cali we have had one real stormy weekend. I woke up to snow covered mountains and freezing wind blowing down off the snow. The only thing encouraging, is this late storm almost surely means bountiful wildflowers!!

I feel for ya! I understand your anguish! One of these days we will be complaining how humid it is…Hang in there!~Hugs, Patti
Cathy says
my sincere condolences! it did rain here a bit today, but snow? i’m so sorry!
Julia says
Our girls aren’t too happy either.
Beansieleigh says
I have to smile reading this, as we are not terribly far from each other, it would seem! VERY similar weather forecasts; and yes, I woke up to the same feeling of “What the ……?!!” All we can do is TRY to smile through it, and just hang in there! ~tina
Georgianna says
Oh, crum. Shocking and depressing is right. I’m so sorry. But it seems you’re not the only ones. Many of my Canadian friends had snow over the weekend, too. We had a lot of storms in the first part of March – not snow but double the normal rainfall. Last few days have been blissfully dry with some “sunbreaks” as we call them here in the Northwest. Hope you have sunshine soon! xoxo – g

Jill says
Okay, pass me a cup a cocoa. I feel your pain. I don’t have snow here, but after being teased by the sun, the rain is back and not ending anytime soon. I guess I should be thankful that I don’t have to shovel snow.
So sorry for you…
Hugs,
Jill
Carol at Serendipity says
Claudia,
Cocoa and cookies – definitely. Sorry…

Paula ~ castleandcottagesigns says
Oh no!! Snow was the only thing I could think of, but I thought it was an older photo, not from yesterday!!
Hang in there girl!
hugs,

The Boston Lady says
A cruel month you be, March. So unpredictable and full of surprises – not always good ones. Yep, chocolate must be consumed… Ann
Kim says
I completely understand Claudia. We are supposed to have blizzard like conditions here today too and it’s enough to make me cry in frustration. I think I might go have some cookies with you :) Hang in there- it has to get warm and sunny sooner or later- Mother Nature can’t keep this up forever ♥
AshTreeCottage says
Oh no ~ more snow??? Enough already!! You deserve a glorious spring after the tough winter. I’d send you some better weather, but ours has not been great either. Let’s just dream of sunny warm weather.
Lots of love,
Susan and Bentley

Elizabeth and Gary says
Hi Claudia,
We had a mean rain and wind storm over the weekend. The wind was howling through the windows even..I just stayed in with the fireplace on and sewed…
I think its been a long winter for a lot of folks..
Have a sweet day and hugs, Elizabeth
Lucille says
I kept looking at the picture and wondering what was out of place. I would not have guessed in a million years because it snowed all day in Ottawa yesterday and I’m quite used to a white landscape. Anyways, I always expect March to be moody so I’m never surprised at the weather. Enjoy your cookies. Now, you are making me very, very hungry.
Rizzi says
YIKES!!!!!! I CAN IMAGINE HOW YOU FELT.
SOMEONE JUST TOLD ME TODAY, WE COULD GET SOME SNOW HERE IN NJ.
OUR FORSYTHIA’S ARE STARTING TO BLOOM….
WE HAD SOME TERRIBLE SNOW STORMS IN MARCH AND APRIL A FEW YEARS BACK. HOPE YOU HAVE SOME NICE SUNNY WEATHER SOON. RIZZI
Kerrie says
Ahhh Claudia! When we lived in central NY state, I can remember snow on the Maple trees sometimes as late as April weighing down their leaves until they touched the ground! We do not miss the Northern winters at all. We have been having weather in the 80’s but not humid with heavenly breezes and our square foot garden behind the shed is ready for planting. Sending you a big Spring hug to put in your garden and grow…..♥
