This is my garden this morning.
The boys should have gone back to school today, but last night we got the call (and email, Facebook update, banner on the news channel, notice on the local town channel…!) to say that all schools would be closed. So, we have a snow day. The snow is falling steadily and is predicted to reach a foot by tomorrow.
When I took these photos first thing, there were still blades of grass visible. As I write this, my foot prints have already disappeared.
It’s a bit chilly, and tomorrow we may experience a low of -4F (-20C); our first negative Fahrenheit day since we moved here!
The snow is so pretty, the ploughs haven’t been round, to throw dirty snow up on to the pavements. A pristine white expanse covers our garden; no shoveling has spoiled the blanket of snow, yet.
This is when I like the snow. Home and warm; white and clean.
I will enjoy this moment. The cursing will begin again tomorrow, if the schools are open!
Linking with Annie’s How does your garden grow?
oh wow wow snow your pictures are making me feel cold just looking at them part of me i jealous you have snow and the other part im glad i dont have it. really lovely shots so perfect.
Yeah, I have mixed feelings about the snow too :) The kids love it, and it is fun – but it makes it very difficult to get anywhere!
The US does proper snow! I am hoping we get a snow day or two in a few weeks :-)
It really does! And, it copes too :) I hope you see some snow!
I only like the snow like that, too, when you don’t have to be anywhere at all! Maybe you’ll get another snow day :)
We did get a second snow day, there is a lot of snow :) It’s still looking quite white and pretty – for the most part!
So pretty! I love snow on evergreens. We are waiting for a nice snow so we can use the sleigh we bought our boys for Christmas.
Cheers,
Stephanie
It is pretty – and the kids are having such fun with their sledges :)
It looks so pretty! I love the snow like that when it’s first laid!
Thanks, it’s lovely while it’s still white :)
I wish we had snow like that, beautiful and reminds me of The Snow Day book.
Oh, love that book :) It is lovely to look all, proper thick snow!
i miss snow!! and i agree, snow is best when it is white and clean and when you can go indoors to warm up. preferably by a fire.
Absolutely!
How lovely Sara to see that snow back again – I love it when you can see everything disappear so it’s completely white. It will look beautiful although it looks like it does already :)
We ended up with a foot, so it was a beautiful blanket of white :)
I WANT SNOW! I WANT SNOW! Although I only like the white bit, not the slushy bit that comes after ;)
Lovely photos – and I hope you are keeping warm *passes woolly socks*
Thanks for joining in again and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I’m only a fan of the white bit too – although with the temperatures we get it’s the icy bit following the slushy bit that’s a real problem! Happy New Year to you too x
I’m secretly hoping for snow, though like you say only when it’s pristine and perfect :) Happy New Year x
Yes, the white is pretty, the mucky slush and ice not so much! Happy New Year to you too x
Oh, I love snow days, and how quiet everything becomes! I hope you enjoyed every bit.
Thanks, it’s been fun – and the snow has stayed looking remarkably pretty, if a little messy now :)
