Blizzard coming :(

Crossing my fingers that it will miss our mountain but have alternate plans for sleeping over at DD's in town if need be tomorrow. Report says high winds and 10-12 inches of snow in the next 24 hours and I am looking out at a clear sky???? sis

A good overnight visit with your must be in order.
It is so pretty where you live, but the weather weeds folks like me out.

Stay safe and make the best of it.

I guess this is your Spring? I hope you have weather that goes around your area, and you get only a little bit.
Stay warm and safe.

Hopefully you didn't have any kind of garden started! Sure hope that snow doesn't come out here to MN! Some of my trees are in blossom.

I pray that you don't get any of that snow. I am so thankful that spring is here and I don't wish more winter weather on anyone.

Have you all not been getting the wind yet? We had 50 mph sustained winds that last couple days. Yuck!! Our little old single wide has been giving serious that to becoming mobile again. It's kinda freaky!

I feel for you! Would you believe - north east Arizona had a white out Sunday. Snow in May! The wind's so bad, I can't set out my starts - they'd be whipped to pieces.

Hope your DH is doing well.......

I heard that " S " word today on the radio. Due to hit us on Friday. My fruit trees are just blooming and my Peonies are up a foot along with my Bleeding Hearts. Everything is about 1 month early here this year.
