Same story here in SW Virginia near Blacksburg, 5 inches rain in past 4 days, now 4-8 inches of white winter mulch this evening!

Going out for a 2 mile exercise walk in the nearby hills to see the snowfall beauty before sundown

Daffodills up but no buds.

Had to shake wet snow off some of my special trees, after 8 inches fell in 4 hours! No wind, so only lost a large cedar, some oak and Japanese maple branches.

Well,the storm came and went,and not snowflake fell here! Some people in the higher elevetions got snow,but it is sunny(for the first time in days) here,and it is finally drying out. Phil

Here in upstate NY rivers are clear, only a little ice still very close to land. I had lunch today watching a river flowing, looked like March.

Boo hiss. Not a flake here! I am so sad. We had some drizzle last week, but it was a negligible amount. It turned very cold today.

The snow pics are beautiful and I wish I could show some, too, and not only because it would mean a day off from school! ;)

My DH tells me that up in MA northwest of Boston, they were braced for up to 12 inches of snow last night, and it veered east and went out to sea. Now the forecast is for temps down to 2* which is not with a minus, so they should be thankful for small favors. I worry about power outages with it cold.

I suppose Steve's hosta are about to enjoy truly cold weather, and hopefully adequate snow cover.

Meanwhile, we are enjoying gorgeous sunny days with no trace of fog in the mornings, and night temps around 40s I think. One light blanket does it to keep warm at night, and even the parrots are not popping their wings signifying they might be cold. I leave the back door open during the daytime to freshen the air in the house. And, I don't check the weather forecast because this is more like the winter weather I've been used to with no big surprise freezes.
