Ice Storm

They say New England weather is unpredictable and absolutely crazy
I have to say, I agree..
see, where I live is part of "New England"
Its almost springtime!
First we get a snowstorm, burying my truck in the dreaded white stuff...
Sunk in over my knees just trying to dig it out
Them temps drop into the single digits.....and at times about 15-20 below (in Fahrenheit) for a week
Gosh darn breeze would freeze the air before it hit your lungs
Well then, mother nature decided to be a tease and gave us some sunshine and 50's
Half the snow has melted away
But last night.....I woke up in the middle of the night
Howls.....loud banging...the loud sound of ice hitting the windows....large objects being dragged about
Extreme high winds, swirling ice and snow squalls....ice coated everything
Outside the wind still howls.....the banging of things against the house.....the swaying of the trees out front
The picture below only showing the slight pauses of the storm in a still photo
I miss spring.....the sweater weather and the summer beach weather and even the colorful fall
As I daydream of warmer weather, outside the ice storm still continues

Hi Red! At the moment we are having temperatures like in Spring. But we have learnt about the saying: "April, April - does what it wants! " So we expect every weather in that month from the freezing winter to the scorching dessert sun..

@Red..... I know exactly what you mean living in New England all my life, it's crazy outside right now. The other day it was a melt down nice and warm, now it's freezing cold and snowing again

You know what they say about New England, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute it will change"

Sounds like a good old Norwegian spring to me, snow and cold one day, higher temperatures and sunshien the next... I am use to this, so it is very weird here now, we have gotten springtime with little snow left on the ground right now, but it still can coem much snow I tell people, we are not half way true march and still have April to deal with, so don't change to summer tires yet! That is my word to all I talk to. Think before act, the winter can still act up here too! Beside this, I hope you Enjoy your day.

Hey Red You said
if anything in this world I would love to have total control of...would be my own mind. Then the world around me could be falling apart and I'd still be content in my own shoes.

Then Go to read and grasp my blog. Total control of mind is the solitary subject taken.
