"March Weather"

The month of March can bring a varied gamut of weather patterns. A tug of war between Winter and Spring, a seemingly unfair battle fought with black angry skies, sideways driven snow, fueled by howling winds out of the North West !!
A beautiful blue sky filled day with pleasant warmth from a sun that is waring against a day to day change in temperatures that can go from being 30 degrees above one morning and -2 degrees the next.
Today I believe Spring is holding it's own.  Rain and fog have been the weapons of chose since the wee hours of the morning, and a temperature that has risen to 42 degrees has taken a toll on layers of the many storms they left snow measured by the foot throughout the winter!!
A few days ago that was not the case!!
We was having a beautiful sunny day , not a cloud in the sky, with temp's around 30 degrees, when about 3:30 it started to get dark.  I stepped out onto the deck to have a look and there was one of those out of no where "March blasts"!!

The dark clouds closing in on the sun!

They swirled around until the sun disappeared completely!!

I could see the snow coming and heard the wind howling

So dashed inside!!

No sooner had I got inside, and back can the Red Squirrel I had

scared of when I went out, and the snow started to fall!!

I think he is trying to tell me here what he thinks of these

huge wet wind driven snow flakes blowing out of the N.W.

This lasted for 20 minutes and was over....this photo doesn't

anyway show the sideways blowing snow!!

As fast as it came it was on its way out and beams

of sun and blue sky started to appear!!

Big billows of dark gray clouds moving away

leaving in its wake trees spattered with snow on one side

top to bottom!!

Big puffy white clouds roll past !!

It was no time after this photo when the sky was

sunny and blue again!

I found this quote by Mark Twain that is a little exaggerate,

but has the idea about the crazy weather that we can have in Spring!!

In Spring I have counted one hundred and thirty six different

kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours.  ~ Mark Twain

"No Winter last forever"

"No Spring skips its turn."
