spring snow

I once heard the weatherman said that March was one of the wettest month in Utah, and I didn't quite think it was true.

And today it rained, and then snowed... and it's continuing doing so.


Light (but lots of it) snow on the trees in front of our house.

I guess the weatherman is probably right.

cold

We got some snow this past weekend... actually we got quite a bit!


I love looking at the snow resting on tree branches.

And then the sun came out and almost melted everything... and the temperature just DROPPED. I think it was 15 degrees out there this morning when we were driving in, and it's like no more than 25 right now. Coooooold.

snow

We got our first notable snow shower yesterday. It was never snowing big, but the little flakes just kept coming down all afternoon.


Nobody was sitting out on the patio.


Not even under the patio umbrella.

It stopped snowing last night and the sun came out this morning. It's getting cold! I wonder if we're going to have a short fall and head stright toward winter weather right away.

it's warm today

Spring in Utah can be crazy. You get big sunshine one day, and snow storm the other. It's pretty warm today, and I'm sitting here at the caffe, actually missing the light spring snow shower two days ago.


behind the caffe.


at our house.

I believe there's another storm coming in later tomorrow... I bet I'll be thinking about the sunshine then.

little visitors

I found these little footprints in front of our garage yesterday. Apparently *someone* has been taking little walks on our snow-covered driveway... right in front of our "dog room" (Adam helped us build walls all around our big car port with walls, windows, and two French doors so the dogs can be "inside" where there's plenty of room for them to play and rest when we're out without having to be "inside".) I bet the dogs all get slightly crazy when they watch these little visitors stroll down the driveway.


I think these are probably from the two neighborhood cats that I see hanging out in our backyard and by the neighbor's garage sometimes.

cute garbage cans

We've got quite some snow this season, and there was a bit more yesterday. When I was pulling into our driveway I saw our two garbage cans standing in front of the garage door with snow on the tops and icicles on the rims. For some odd reason I thought they were really cute... and looked like they were 'just hanging out' in the snow.


The black one is for regular garbage, and the green one is for recyclables.
