A whole winter's snow in one day. We had 16" a few hours ago and more still coming. It has been a very mild winter until today. The daffodil and lily stalks were up. Hydrangea and lilac buds were just starting to swell. The yard has been muddy from the rain and warm weather so we put bales and bales of straw down to keep the dogs from tracking mud in the house. No mud today. Snow is prettier than mud.
The snow is not only deep but heavy and wet. We tried shoveling out the driveway but gave up after 10 minutes. No sign of the plowers yet. It has been windy, but not terribly cold at 27°.
