Winter Returns

After eight or nine days of Spring-like weather, it cooled a bit last week. Friday was gray with rain/snow/mix type precipitation off and on.

Today started with a Winter Weather Advisory for slick roads but by mid-morning the temperature was above freezing. Bear and I headed to town. I’ve not been shopping on Saturdays lately…mid-week or Sunday to avoid as many people with various bugs as possible :) !!

But, this week got away from me and I felt like getting out and about so off we went.

The valley was clear and sunny, but the mountains on all sides had snow squalls here and there. The northeast wind felt very cold after a week of warm breezes from the southwest.

It is supposed to be single digit temperatures tonight and tomorrow night before we warm a bit to February “normal”.

Winter returns.

    Beautiful photo Liz. The clouds and light work magic together. It must have been spectacular to see in person.

    We had a cold but sunny week here and now we’re heading for a cold and wet week with rain and sleet. Ugh!

    We’ve experienced an unusual cold, snowy, icy week here in northwestern portion of middle Tennessee. Yesterday’s rising temperature, and rain, plus the melting snow have left many with roof damage, flooded basements, and so forth. We are feeling extremely blessed that we are free of these miseries. Your gorgeous photo brought a broad smile to my face on this gray, gloomy morning!!

    Steph, the light around the valley was perfect!

    Margaret, Well, phooey – rain and sleet is no fun!!

    Martha, I felt a little guilty talking about winter and how pretty it was here as I know the rest of the country is suffering brutal conditions, but I’m glad to hear the photo brought some “sunshine” to you.
