Nancy was asking for pictures of flowers - so here goes - first I woke at about 4 a.m yesterday and this is what I found when the sun came up...

then Yesterday afternoon when I looked out I saw this:

If I hadn't seen the snow with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed someone telling me we had snow. The flowers didn't seem to mind too much - they liked their blanket of snow and then the sunshine the rest of the day! Daffodils, hyacinths and crocus... the rest shoudl be showing their pretty faces soon.

We have had record snowfall here this winter. We have received 61/2 feet of snow this year. Today its cold and the winds are so high it is causing huge drifts on the highways roads closed all around our city and in Alberta there was a 60 car pile up. I have never heard of a pile up that large on the Canadian prairie.

MNnancy:
Come on ladies, we need some more pictures of flowers so we can dream of spring!

OK MNnancy, we are definitely in the melt-out period here in the Methow Valley! No crocuses or daffodils yet, but our little wildflowers called "spring beauties" are in their full glory...as little as they are:

(I put a quarter by them so you could see just how tiny they really are! There are probably 20 clumps within a foot of this one.

All the south-facing hillsides are covered with them.)

Nancy, I still have two feet of snow in my flower garden! I could send a pic of that if you like. This year I'm beginning to believe that I have snow on the inside of my eyelids and it's not about to go away!

I agree, MNnancy. We just got a couple of inches last night too, and it is still sputtering a little. I have a daffodil in bud that came up thru the leaves and snow, but it is going to stay a bud until this cold is over. It may stay at the stage it's at for a month or so befre it shows its face. The tulips are also poking up thru the leaves that are covering them. I had to go out and move the packed leaves off the top of them so they don't deform. Ginny
