Snowing in Boston today!

Post by Mr. Hanami »

:eek: April 4th, and we are having snow flurries today. It’s cold and nasty out but at least it makes everything look SO beautiful. I took these pictures at 5:00 pm today.

I sympathise with you! We are actually have a snowstorm.... They said we can have 15 or 20 cm of snow this night!!! One chance, we know that snow won't stay long... DH said while he was watching outside that's this was beautiful but not on this time of year...

Bonjour Nathalie,
You’re definitely getting more snow than we are. It finally stopped down here. I hope the same for you. We love to go camping up in Vermont near the Canadian border. It snowed on us once in October. Mannnnnnnn…that was a cold night. :frosty:
Warm weather is on the way!

WOW!!! :o That's a lot of snow Nathalie. It's been sunny down here, but still cold. I wish old man winter came when he was supposed to. I'm going to work in the yard today and freeze my tail off. I even saw a groundhog (woodchuck) looking a little confused Saturday.

Ah yes, the Spring of my discontent. Or is it heartbreak ?
A week ago my garden was beautiful, the maples bursting forth in their glory. Then several record breaking nights in the 20's...now...all is crap ! :roll:

Wondering what the recovery time will be for the maples ?
I'm assuming they will drop the new growth and start again ?

This is a new expierience for me ! :eek:
