April or February?

-

 Is it truly April 21st? That is what the calendar says, but outside the weather seems to be screaming January or February. Temperatures below freezing and snow- not typical spring weather for sure. 


Look at the redbud blooms trying to poke out through all the snow. Please Mr. Snow , do not kill my tree and its' beautiful blooms.
The pine tree is so pretty with the snow covering it, but I still do not like snow in late April!

As this photo shows, there is a bit of snow and it is a wet snow, which makes it heavy and brings the tree branches down very low. Several areas are without power due to the weight causing trees to fall and tear down lines. 

What is the weather like at your house today? The animals here are attempting to figure out what season we are in. We may have freezing rain later today, so I guess I will go out and make sure the horses are in the barn after eating.

    Crazy weather all over..
    Snow is predicted in the mountains here in No. CA for this weekend. That means we down in the valley go from 80F down to 55 or 60F. Hard to know what to put on in the morning..

    Looks like you got a little more than we did. It's all gone now and we're supposed to start warming back up again.
    I got to work the other morning when we first got the snow and my boss said it looks like we're going to have a white Christmas after all...lol

    That’s crazy weather! Ours has been unseasonably chilly for this time of year in Texas but I am secretly enjoying it! All too soon we will be in triple digits and I’ll fondly remember these days!

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
