Snow Buries the Snow Crocus
Before the snow arrived...

... and after the snow storm.
Last week I was excited to find the first snow crocus had burst into bloom. It was earlier than ever before and it brought a smile to my face. But, at the same time, I was a little nervous – last year, the first crocus brought with it a major snow storm and the weather forecast was predicting the same this year. So you can imagine my lack of a smile the next day when I went outside to find everything, including the poor crocus, buried by 10″ of heavy snow. The yard was almost unrecognizable and the crocus was nowhere to be found. I think Mother Nature was playing a cruel joke on us….
Did anyone else get hit with the storm? By all accounts, we were lucky down here in southern CT and managed to avoid the worst of it.
