I guess March wasn't done with us... on the 30th, we got a good 6 inches of snow... then, on the morning of the 31st, we got another 5-6!  They're saying the snow ends with the month of March... we'll see, eh?  :-)

The snow on the 30th was a surprise... it wasn't supposed to get cold enough, according to the NWS... so I shoveled 5 inches of "late night showers"... again. 

Not long after I'd started, the snow started falling again... and by the time I was done, it was falling hard enough to put a layer of snow on the ground again...

It really gave the neighborhood a nice look to it... there's nothing like fresh snow!

I also noticed that the paper delivery person was late with the paper... :)

The snow hung around for the day, and then as night fell on us, so did more snow... by morning, it had stacked up to another 6 inches, along with some freezing rain... the roads were pretty slick.

 

 
The rain made the snow a bit heavy, but much easier to shovel, and before too long, I'd cleaned up the driveway again.

There was a loud buzzing noise coming out of the transformer that fed the 4 houses it was near, mine included.  It seems ok... but the noise was a bit odd... maybe it was just so quiet that I heard it louder than I normally would have.

When the sun came up, the neighborhood lit up under the blanket of New Snow.  It was pretty striking!

So... is THIS the last blast of Winter???  I guess time will tell, but according to the news, things will start warming up after this... but of course they've said that before.  :)
