Back to reality! One more full day of winter. One more thrust of winter! After the mild weather of last week around here, this morning we're waking to a late winter snow event. What a way for ol' man winter say his goodbyes. Back a few years, my friends and I would relish one more 'hit' like this. One last snowball fight, one remaining trip down the backyard hill, one more school day slip sliding our way to Lincoln. Big flakes this time of year usually meant the walk home would be on sun-covered wet sidewalks anyway. Besides, our baseball gloves were already being worked over with linseed oil and repeated workouts with a ball. That wonderful season baseball was lurking over the horizon for all to enjoy. This morning, all I can say is 'good riddance'! Why? There are just 13 days til opening day for the Sox!

We have our baseball gloves on here... How does that work in the snow? I'm sending you a big puff of warm air your way to melt that snow!

When this happened when I lived in Minnesota it was sooo depressing. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteSpring is here in Florida. Just got back from the practice range. Going to 88 degrees. Nice and sunny and warm. C'mon down!
The snow will be gone by morning, count on it!!
ReplyDeleteYuck! It is sunny here but only about 3C so fairly cool. At least we have a roof for opening day!
ReplyDeleteHartford looked like that until recently. It is amazing what two weeks in the 40s will do. Yesterday it was 70, but today it is back in the 40s.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you've had enough of it but I can't get enough of snowy scenes!
ReplyDeleteWhoah--what a surprise to see that today. I am not even going to tell you that it was 80 degrees at the beach in NC today. No, I am not going to tell you that.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I thought spring was right around the corner.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it! Nice photo but I would even say enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteIt is still snowing... and we are still raining ...
ReplyDeleteI love the artistry of this image Mr. Birdman!
