Is it December or April?

Winter Storm Warning broadcasted and forecasted for my area in Northern Lower Michigan Tuesday night through Wednesday. And those weathermen were right on of course.
The kids had a snow day but funny thing is they did not want to go play in the snow.
Probably because they could not find their snow gear I had washed and stored away just a week or so ago.
Truthfully, they are pretty sick of snow.
Hey, Mother Nature! We want some spring like weather!

8-9 inches of heavy, soaking wet snow fell. The ground was already mushy and muddy before this snow made its way here. Once this melts off we will be living on a parcel surrounded by water.
Did I mention we are now on day two of no power? Thankfully we have a generator wired up to run heat, lights, appliances and my computer. But at $4 a gallon it begins to get a bit costly. However I could not go without a generator at this point!

My growing tulips and daffodils should pull through and live to bloom their pretty colors. Wow, I need me some green, pinks, and yellows!
A week ago we were leaving our window open a crack at night to let some fresh spring air in our bedroom and to hear the frogs chorusing along. Now I wonder how those poor frogs are doing.
50 degrees is scheduled to be around for a few days and perhaps up to 70 degrees by next week. And then maybe, maybe winter will go away until December.

9.9 inches of heavy wet snow in GB. Not Happy on this side of the pond, either.

Been cold for TOO long. And I'm happy that YOU got all that snow instead of "da U.P"!!! Anxious for next week; supposed to be in the 50's here!!

Wow..you really did get some...we avoided it for ONCE...now rain is in the forecast but at least we are finally in the 40's and 50's are predicted for Easter. Finally!!

I hope you keep the snow up your way...we are totally not interested down here. Beautiful landscape photos though.

It is April..I suppose the freaking frogs froze..I think they go into suspended animation in the cold muck until it warms them back up. We are so cold..I cannot believe it..very unseasonable..it was a very hard frost this morning.
Of course this is all my fault, I put my snow boots away..silly me.
I am leaving my snow shovel next to the door til the Fourth of July:)
