It Snowed Today!

winter returned to Maine for a day in spring....

After the Storm

Snow glistened and shadows fell

early this morning as the sun rose

after the storm yesterday.

There was evidence at the beach that the ocean was

wild from the storm for there had been many rocks 

thrown into the road from the waves.

By the time we arrived at sunset the roads were 

mostly cleared.

New Snow

Been some time since it snowed…it was beginning to feel 

like spring in February in Maine until Friday.

Snow fell all day enveloping everything in

a soft blanket of snow creating a

winter wonderland.
So quiet and so beautiful.

Saturday the sun appeared.

Crisp and clear….

What's Wrong with These Photos

It was April 9th and looked more like the middle of winter….

First Day of Spring In Maine

Happy first day of spring from Maine…

still plenty of snow but it is melting a little bit.

Sunday, After the Blizzard

Once again we found ourselves 

shoveling out from a blizzard

that left us overwhelmed.

Fortunately the snow was very

light but unfortunately there was so

much of it and the snowbanks are

already so high, we had trouble finding

a place to put it as we cleared pathways

and the driveway.

There could be more snow this week and that is

worrisome.

Too Much Snow

Shoveled again this early evening

to my studio.

The stairs disappeared.

The snowbanks are over my head which makes it

so very difficult to find places to put the snow

without having it fall back down in the path

I am trying to shovel.

What a winter!

The Snow in February So Far

February 3, about to shovel a path to studio

and I noticed the delicate bird prints in the snow.

Yesterday it snowed again…the snowbanks 

are above my head in places.

Shoveled to the studio early last evening.

More snow fell overnight and this is my studio 

this morning…more shoveling is awaiting me.
Oh, and it is also super cold.

Snow and More On the Way

The snow from the blizzard on Tuesday

has taken days for us to clear….

this was our deck on Thursday.

Friday brought 4 or 5 more inches of snow which seemed

manageable  and was very beautiful as we took a ride

by the ocean and through town.

Tomorrow could bring 8 to 12 more inches of snow

and the snow banks are already very tall…

First Snow

Snow fell lightly all day...

quiet and magical.

 

 

 

Snowing

So quiet and peaceful in the morning as snow

lightly fell.

 

 

a brave lady was walking 4 dogs by the ocean...

 

the ducks carried snow on their backs...

The snow came down fast a furious during the

late afternoon and we don't know how the 

overnight will be....hoping for the best for

one and all!

Snowy Afternoon

Quietly,

the snow just started softly falling...

it may continue through the night.

First Day of Spring Garden

Happy First Day of Spring from Maine!

Magical Snow

The snow was incredibly beautiful early this morning...

Around 6:30 am. I climbed the wooden ladder

 to the attic for this view.

It was so exciting but it didn't last...

it fell from the trees by late morning
as the sun got higher and the temperatures rose.

Snowing and Surfers

 

It snowed all day...a winter wonderland...

Over at the beach the surfers were out.

They looked mysterious through the snow!

The Magic of Snow

I love the magical feeling when it begins

to snow...soft and quiet, gently falling

snowflakes surround me through the windows.

And then it stops...but it will return!

A Tour After the Storm

Here is a little tour on Sunday of

 Dock Square and the Lower Village

after the amazing snowfall of the weekend.
