Photos from last Sunday when we had our first #snow of the season. A fairly mild to warm week and most of it is gone, with little bits in some shady spots. Today cloudy with chance of rain/thunderstorms (I'm doubtful) but another week forecast to be mostly above average.

View from this morning of one of the #RockGardens in front of the house, as the sun was just coming into the yard. Now, later afternoon much of the snow has melted, but there is still a line- similar to the shadow line you see farther back in the photo- where the trees behind keep it shaded and the snow remains! That little mound above left centre is winter snow still. This rain and snow should have the grass greening soon #garden #snow #spring #Alberta #Canada #SnowMother #weather

#Spring #snow? Maybe kinda but really early March is still winter here. After warm and dry weather for a while, we had fresh snow Monday- not cold, just near average- a little above freezing daytime, colder nights. The moisture is important for soil, trees, wetland recharging etc.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 18 I didn't cut wood yesterday, so I went for a walk on the farm. Nippy at around -16C/3F (nowhere near record for this season) but beautiful after several days of fog #frost and #snow

Pretty #snow falling from a few days ago--this already seems dated: way more today! Video shows views on the acreage and across the neighbours' with snow falling- trees, fields etc. This link is YouTube, Spectra link in replies.

After some extra weeks mostly without snow (good for cutting/stashing firewood in the bush, not so good for hauling) #SnowMother #SniegaMate has been bringing snow this week (several times, but not a lot, yet; and we'll hit +/- -20C in coming days) #CountryLiving #Pagan #Latvian #baltic #animism #Alberta #winter
