What is the difference between the first day of spring and the first spring day? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The answer, at least here in northern New England … “Six weeks!!!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past few days we have had periods of sleet. Just a thin coating accumulated on things and most of this disappeared pretty quickly. However, it has been cold enough and cloudy enough that that, even more than a day after it fell, traces of sleet were still hanging on in some spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday dawned foggy and stayed that way most of the day. After lunch I headed out for a walk to see if I could capture the “feeling” of our lovely spring day; the temperature was 33 degrees F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About half way back on the return leg of my walk it began to rain lightly. About a half-hour after I got back inside, it began to snow. The snow lasted roughly an hour. When it stopped we had an inch or so on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahhh… Springtime in New England! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ended up with two series of photographs from my walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
