Gerri and I woke up this morning to a chilly 19 degrees and a wind chill in the low single digits. We also had about 2 inches of snow on the ground and roads. Under the snow is a sheet of black ice which is very deceiving. Now for those up north, that is just a mere dusting, but for the south and Auburn , Alabama, that is a once in a blue moon snow. It is beautiful and the woods with snow looks awesome, but it is cold.
As I think about this winter, I find myself wishing spring was already here. I copied some pics of spring here in the south and thought I would share in hopes that it may warm us up a bit.
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:1
We know what you mean about wishing spring were here. Are kids back home in Ontario are still digging out after repeated snowfalls. They also will see temps climb above freezing later this week.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Very rarely does the south get such a pretty snow, it is kind of a mixed blessing. However, we have become very ready for spring weather.
DeleteThanks for your comments.
I've been thinking about you guys and wondering how you were managing in the not-quite-far-enough-south location where you're wintering. Your photos are beautiful, the wintry ones as well as the spring ones, although I do prefer the gorgeous colors of spring.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughts Linda. We are staying warm and making the best of the situation and the snow itself is beautiful as it flows through the woods undisturbed by mankind. We just got through making some snow cream and enjoying that. Hope you are doing well.
DeleteThat snow doesn't look that dangerous to me, but ice underneath it would make it treacherous.After a long cold winter,I can't wait for spring to come.It will be several months up hereinbefore we see green growth.
ReplyDeleteThe snow itself is not the dangerous part as you know. Underneath the snow is a sheet of ice albeit a lot has melted off the roads but where the sun has not touched the back roads, it is a solid sheet of ice/snow and packed quite hard. Up north is pretty, but i prefer the temps of the south...most of the time.
DeleteRuth, thank you for your comments.
Yikes! I feel just a little better about our lousy weather in FL:)
ReplyDeleteIt has just been a crazy winter all over this year and not many seem to be able to escape the cold or even the snow.
DeleteTake care and spring is a coming....
Oh My -----The Winter pictures are gorgeous (I love winter snows) --but when I got to the spring pictures, my heart smiled bigtime....
ReplyDeleteHasn't this been a crazy winter for most of us???? We were below zero yesterday morning --and we didn't get over about 14 degrees all day long... That is the kind of weather I just want to curl up in a blankie' and do NOTHING.... ha
Have a great day. We have a huge warm-up coming.
Hugs,
Betsy
This has truly been a crazy/cold/snowy winter. The snow is gorgeous, but after a bit I really don't enjoy the damp cold as it goes to my bones.
DeleteSpring is such a beautiful time of year as all of nature comes to life and the flowers and trees bud out some beautiful colors. Life renews itself in the springtime and reminds us that each day is a new beginning to life.
Take care and let that huge warm up hurry up and get here.
Are you two the only ones in the park? The snow photos are beautiful but wish you didn't have to take them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the uplifting Spring photos. We heard on the morning weather that every...that is all 50 states...have snow. A bit depressing to say the least. Sending you warm thoughts.
There about 4 other rv's in the campground plus the host. I don't think anyone has eluded the snow this winter, but spring is coming and with that a burst of God's creation coming to life.
DeleteThanks for your comments.
What a winter....its keeping us on our toes...what great photo's, especially seeing the contrast of the winter snow with the springtime of magnificent flowers..thanks for sharing...hope all is well with you both!! Horst sends
ReplyDeleteHorst, thanks for your comments. Yes, this winter has been rough on just about everybody and snow of some sort in all 50 states. However, spring is a coming and with that a burst of new life in God's creation will appear.
DeleteHope all is well for you and your family.
Take care....
Brrr and beautiful snuggle up.
ReplyDeleteIt has been quite cold for mid Alabama, but spring is not too far off and with that comes new life in nature. It is awesome seeing the seasonal transitions that God has set in motion.
DeleteYou guys take care!
