Minnesota Wild Plum Blossoms

Friday, April 12, 2019

Sorry to say, it snowed all night and is still lightly snowing now at 7 p.m. Listening to the radio this morning, we were surprised to learn that schools in the area were starting two hours late.  At that time it was snowing hard and visibility was just about zero.  We thought they were trying not to cancel because of so many missed days this winter.  It wasn't a half hour later and the closings began--everything was pretty much shut down.  All the interstates were closed and didn't open up again until this afternoon. 

As I mentioned yesterday, John had backed the four wheeler into the garage so he could get a running start plowing.  That didn't happen--the snow was way too deep and heavy for the four wheeler; however,  he did get the snow blower going and cleared the apron in front of the garage and paths to the wood stove and his shop.  Thanks goodness so much of the snow melted before this storm hit.  There are big piles again, but nothing like what was here when we first returned home from Texas. 
We feel like we are back to square one and starting all over.  John was close to getting his truck out of the big shop, but that won't happened for a couple more weeks now and the gravel road and driveway will probably be a mess for several days.  As I mentioned before, tomorrow will be sunny and the melting will begin again.

Matt was just down here to plow out our driveway.  He got it down pretty good, so hopefully we'll see bare ground in another day or so.
