I cannot believe I'm seeing snow mid-afternoon on May 9, with the sun out. This is surreal against a backdrop of tropical green grass, flowers and leafed out trees. Not even mangled flakes. Almost fluffy.
Nice pics! I saw my first grosbeak in years the other day, as well as a blackburnian warbler. I also have a flock of wild parakeets in the neighborhood. It's always a hoot to see a dozen bright green tropical birds squawking in a white pine.
As far as Aprils go, this one has been pretty nice down here. No mud, everything greening up. Flowers, mowers, just waiting on the sun dresses at this point.
Tell you what, watching Easter service via zoom with the minister and organist both wearing masks really drives home what a extraordinary time this is.
Does this share any commonality with that big October wind event a few years back? That was the last time I lost power from wind. Although if I remember that one featured a quasi tropical mesolow that smoked the Cape.
