On Sunday, we got the snow they called for. You can see my poor roses weren’t very happy about it. I didn’t get a chance to cut any before it snowed.
It was really just a dusting
But definitely enough to put an end to gardening for the year.
And if I didn’t believe it…. Monday made up for it. We don’t normally get a tonne of snow here. We are just outside the snow belt, so the worst of it almost always passes us by.
But… every once in a while, the wind is just right… and we get lake effect snow. It started early Monday afternoon.
By dinner time, the gardens and swan were well on their way to being buried.
Dave snowblowed while I was cooking dinner, and by the time we went to bed, the driveway was all filled in again.
He was up before I was and had it mostly blown out again by the time I pulled myself out of bed.
But my poor swan was completely buried.
In the end, we got close to two feet.
They say it’s supposed to start warming up today, and the snow should be melted by the weekend. But it’s definitely the end of gardening until the spring.
I guess I can focus on indoor projects now.

Yikes!! That’s a whole lot of snow…and so early. I think it looks pretty on the roses, but I’m sure they don’t look so nice now.

And here I am, grumbling about the 2 inches of snow that we received.
That’ll teach me.

WOW! That seems like a lot of snow to me and so early. Of course, where I live, two inches of snow brings everything to a stop.

Wow! That’s a LOT of snow. And here I was feeling bad about the flurries we had on Sunday. I’m glad it will hopefully melt soon. The poor swan will need to wait of Spring to be warm again.
Blessings,
