Four Days Later

Tweet

Last Thursday I posted a photo of my yard after a freezing rain storm. This photo of my yard was taken this morning–four days later. You can see a good deal of the snow has melted away. If you notice the branches in the photo I took on Thursday are drooping down lower than in this photo, that is caused by the weight of the ice on the branches from the freezing rain. We have had some fairly warm days. It’s been in the forty degrees Fahrenheit (4.4º C) range for the last couple of days. They are forecasting by Wednesday it will get up to fifty degrees Fahrenheit (10º C) or warmer. They are forecast we might get a slight snowstorm next week, but if we do, it will be a very weak storm. Right now, as you can see in the photo, the sun is shining. It is partly cloudy, though, but no snow or rain is forecasted for today. Some of the weather forecaster have gone as far as to say they think the worst of this winter is over. Usually by the time we get past the middle of February this is true. But this winter has not been usual. Or unusual to the winters we have been having the last few years. Some weathermen have said this winter is actually a normal winter. We have just been spoiled by the last few warmer winters. I think we are all looking forward to spring–only thirty-six more day!
