Snow Fog

 

Yesterday morning I woke up to this view out my bedroom window……...

And this view out my living room window…………

And this view from my kitchen………

I know I’m not the only one who is wishing Spring would hurry up and get here.

And it can’t get here too soon.

This snow thing is getting really old.

Leah Fry said...

I'll give you an amen! I'm grateful for the rain, not the mud. Can I get one without the other??

Lori Skoog said...

You've got it! For some reason, this year we are all feeling the same way.
We've had that snow fog 2 or 3 times too. It is melting...

Gail said...

Snow??? You have snow????

Louise said...

You've got an Amen from me. And, also, a Hallelujah that it's March, not October. If the snow ever melts, we should be seeing snowdrops poking their pretty white noses through soon (hopefully).

That fog is cool. Creates hoar frost.

Alison said...

That first picture is gorgeous! And, for some reason, my mind instantly captioned the first two chicken pictures: "What the h#ll is this!?" and "Is it edible?" Typical chicken question, I guess.

We are once again waiting to find out if we'll be hit with rain, sleet or snow today. Probably a combination: snleet. (Bless you!)

Carla said...

I'll give you that AMEN!! Spring, where are you??

Sherry Sikstrom said...

Amen! Bring on the spring!

Janice said...

I'm with you. I can't wait for Spring it is comeing though, my horses are starting to shed out.....what a mess that is. They have so much hair they look like woolie mammaths, time to get busy grooming.

Dan and Betty said...

Sorry about your snow. We have sunny days near 60 degrees on our side.

Nice pictures.

Your pictures made my littlest laugh so hard. Chiokens in the snow?! He cried. So thankful our snow stays mainly in the mountains where we can enjoy it if we want to and then leave it behind!

Sarah said...

It is getting kind of old isn't it? Two more months and we should be more or less in the clear...I hope! I just keep reminding myself that our snow is the bulk of our moisture for the year, so I'm trying to be greatful...and dreading the mud when it starts to melt! I'd rather have the snow that the mud.

The first two photos are stunning! We are feeling the same about the rain here in SoCal. Last night on the news they posted that we have already gotten 3.5" more than we got the entire season last year. We are only 1" off the Total Season average and March barely started! They are predicting more rain for us later this week. Ugh, I have given up cleaning my floors, the mud just won't quit!

Ed said...

WAAAAAA! We got snow this morning in Tennessee, but then I had a blast out with my camera and almost got stuck for my attempts for fun pics..:-)

Reddunappy said...

I want spring tooo! LOL

Whatever is in the middle of your chicken pen looks like a deer head in the snow LOL
Those chicks are sure colorful in the snow!

We are all of 98 feet above sea level here, LOL, I will tell Spring to come your way LOL I bet we get it first LOL LOL

jane augenstein said...

The almanac is saying that here in the Ohio Valley March is still going to have snow (that's a dirty word!) Enough ALREADY!!!
Pictures are gorgeous!!
Thinking spring! :-)
hugs....
Jane

Deb said...

you poor thing...and your animals too...I guess I should stop complaining about our weather...

Jeni said...

Pretty pictures Lisa! We've had snow fog too... i think it's pretty so long as I don't have to drive in it.

Jane did you say 'SNOW' and the word "MORE" in the same breath for the Ohio Valley??? ugh no!! I'm so over the snow and ready to get past the muddy muck thaw and drying!

Have a great day!

When I went out to feed my horses it was sunny and clear. Then, by the time I left for work, it was a white out. Great captures.

Amy said...

Wow. Okay so I want a tiny taste of snow, but yeah, that would be a bit much for me.

Gorgeous photos nevertheless. :)

Dusty Devoe said...

Your snow pictures are lovely. It doesn't look like we are going to get any this year.

Patrinas Pencil said...

YES YES AMEN

Hi Lisa!
From some one who has not see snow I just love your pictures :)
I have been away from blogging for a long time now and by having a quick glance at your blog you have been having some fun. I love that you have found some sugar in your life. I will have to wait for a rainy day to sit down and catch up with what has been going on in your life.
Take care my friend
xoxoxoxo

The Wades said...

Cannot believe how much you are getting! You'd think we would have a little more. Stay warm.

Rural Writer said...

Yeah, I could see where that snow thing is getting old for ya. I whine for just a few days of snow. I'd never last in your part of the world! Hope spring gets there soon for ya!

OHHH those pictures are absolutely breathtaking!!! Now it's time to move on from the snow and get us all some good Spring weather LOL!!

DesertHen said...

We woke up to snow yesterday morning 3/4/10 and there was about 5 inches of the stuff! I'm tired of winter weather! For the most part the snow melted off, but now we have the good old mud to deal with. I don't mind the rain, but I'm with you and I'm tired of the snow!

Beautiful photos!!

Girl Tornado said...

AMEN... although, I really feel for you as you've gotten an abominable amount of snow this year. I certainly can't complain as we barely got any this year. It was a very mild winter for southern Kansas this year. We hit 71 yesterday, I was shocked as it was only supposed to be 60 or so. Talk about a balmy afternoon!

Today is overcast but it is 60 degrees, so again, no complaints from me!!!
