The week started off so mild. People took to the local rail trail to exercise in the amazing 50 degree weather on Sunday where I live near Vestal, New York.
The sun shone, the sky was blue, and the snow was melting.
Monday, a beautiful clear sky. But that was the last of the sun. By Thursday, the snow had arrived again.
Not visible in the picture, the buds on these Bradford Pear trees were covered in snow and were not going to hear the signal to start their bloom cycle today. The sky was white, the sky we know as a "snow sky".
Neither were these Bradfords, as the wind blew.
Courthouse, downtown Binghamton. No end to the gloom here. In this picture, what started as a slushy mix made for some slippery walking.
Around sunset, the sunset tried to give us a show.
We missed the blizzards to the north and to the west, thankfully. Spring has backed off and winter has reminded us to look at the calendar.
Join Yogi and other skywatchers each Friday for #SkywatchFriday.
Welcome! I hope I bring a spot of calm and happiness into these uncertain times. I blog about flowers, gardening, my photography adventures, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.

I need some Spring in my life.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, spring is coming....
ReplyDeleteBut spring will be here before you know it. It's almost March already.
ReplyDeleteWe missed the blizzards too but the temperatures keep changing so fast I can't keep up. If it's been warmer, I plan dinner on the grill and we end up having a freezing cold day. If I plan one of my "cold weather meals", it ends up that I could have grilled.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a tug of war between winter and spring. Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteSpring has most def. backed off, sigh...nothing new over here in Hornell, where winter always has an issue of just letting go, LOL. I am thinking, the usual May. LOLOL
