I have to give my hellebores credit for proving it was indeed the first day of spring yesterday as they broke through the snow. The one on the right looks like it was using a stick to do so, but it did succeed.

On the first day of spring, this is the top of a snow mountain built by a plow and looking other worldly.

My mission yesterday was to embrace the urban snow despite all of its ugliness and then I saw this snow dog in front of a blue building.

It snowed all day Friday, but didn’t stick to the sidewalks and road until late at night. And then it got really cold and turned pretty into ugly ice on Saturday. A lot more snow on the way in a couple of days.

There was a lot of melting over two warm days, but there still is a lot of snow left.

Honestly, I had not been out on any photo walks for over a week until yesterday. A nice spring like day as the massive amounts of snow began to melt. Good thing I have waterproof boots.

Early afternoon with hardly any color or visibility. Lots of snow and wind and not as pretty or warm as the gently falling large snowflakes from a few days ago.
