Still sick as a dog (whole family) but I ran outside for a minute this morning to take a few quick shots before it all melts. This storm started late Sunday evening and went right through the night, and for most of Monday, before tapering off to flurries. In all, we received over a foot of the white stuff!
My apologies that these aren't up to the usual standards, (no wallhangers here!) just a few fast snapshots to give you an idea of what things can look like here in mid-May. (YIKES!)
Our next door neighbor says he has only ever seen a storm like this once before, this late in the spring. I hope we never see it again! Mind you... it does look kind of pretty though, doesn't it??
I wish I had gotten out with the camera Monday, before most of it had melted. I figure with tomorrows temperature expected to hit 20C (68F) it will all be but a memory by tomorrow night. It's to be warm and sunny for several days, so hopefully we can get over this flu bug and get outside barbequing by the weekend!
Thank-you to all of you kind souls who have been wishing us a speedy recovery; much appreciated!
