The Return of the White Stuff


I was just thinking Saturday, "We haven't gotten much snow this winter. I wonder if we'll have a drought this summer?" We had that freakishly warm spell in February and ALL the snow melted. I have lived in northern/mountainous Pennsylvania for 22+ yrs. and have NEVER seen a winter where all the snow cover has melted before the spring thaw.....until this year. Could spring be close by??
Evidently not. The photo above was taken from my front porch. I woke up this morning to a new inch of snow on the ground and we have 3 inches currently. And it's still snowing sporadically.
It generally snows here until after Easter.....that would be the late April Easter.
This snow was NOT predicted to hit us!
Can I just go back to bed now?

    Well, since you have already done your weekly menu plan, yes you can! Go back to bed with a big hot cuppa tea and a good book.
    Enjoy the snow, it is dry as a bone down here. We are into our second year of drought and no rain in the forecast. They are predicting Stage 4 water restrictions soon. I don't know what that means, but it sure sounds ominous doesn't it?

    I live in Northern NY, up by Ottawa, Ontario and Montreal Quebec ( yes, way up there) and we don't have snow cover right now. We haven't had it for weeks. Scary, yes.
