Saturday Sparks Link Party 612

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 612! 

 Starting off todays party with our current view!


While everyone else is posting all things spring, this is our world!

An unexpected spring snowstorm blanketed us with 2 feet of the white stuff this week.

I snapped this picture mid-storm.

No power since Wednesday night and no prospects of any until maybe Sunday night.

Thankfully, our generator is dutifully picking up the slack.

Such is life in New Hampshire.

    1. Thank-you, Pam! Luckily for us, the forecast is showing warmer days ahead, so this snow shouldn't be around long. I am still doing well with my recovery, but will be glad to get back to normal. Have a wonderful week, my friend ~ Suzanne.

  3. That is a lot of snow, Suzanne. Haven't seen that much since we left the Chicago area for more southern climates. Hope that it's the last one for you and that your power and Sprig come soon. Thanks for the feature for "Around the Garden". It's always a pleasure to visit your blog.

    1. Yes Linda, we got slammed this storm, but the snow has already started to melt. It will be gone in the blink of an eye. Your cozy entry gave me all the spring vibes, so thank-you for that. All my best ~ Suzanne.

  6. Suzanne, I'm so sorry for your late snow and loss of power. Your snows are always beautiful but I remember the late snows of my childhood in Ohio, and aside from the possible day off of school, they were just not what we wanted to see. This being said, I feel rather bad linking up a Spring Outdoor table, but I hope it brings you hope that Spring will arrive in New Hampshire too an hopefully soon! - Patty

  9. Wow, that's a lot a snow (for this time of year). We had some crazy hail yesterday, but it doesn't even compare. Stay well & thanks for hosting. XO- MaryJo

    1. Yes, MaryJo - Old Man Winter decided to play a late April Fools joke on us! Crazy hail, crazy spring snow - the weather seems to be all over the place. Sending good thought for plenty of sunshine ~ Suzanne.

  10. Oh my lands, Suzanne! Two feet?? Well, I guess you won't be having PT outside of walking through the house! We had a derecho this past week, with a few tornadoes touching down along the way on Tues, and were without power until Thursday late. Thankfully no damage for us other than clearing out the fridge and freezer. We don't have a generator and were fine other than the loss of foodstuffs. Another night and we would've likely gone to a hotel.
    These features are definite rays of sunshine.
    Take care, and I hope how soon you see spring.

    1. Yes, two feet Rita! Even by NH standards, that's a lot all at once, especially this time of year. Luckily, things have warmed up and the snow is melting fast. Sorry to hear about your windy weather, but glad to hear you had no damage. Our power came back on yesterday afternoon. Having no power is always a challenge, but it's a quick reminder as to just how much we depend on it. Sending you all the spring vibes ~ Suzanne.
