Ice and Springtime Collide along the Blue Ridge
Normally an abundance of rain means an early Spring, but a colder than normal March halted the trees in their tracks, and brought late season snow, and even a coating of ice along Cedar Creek.
With freezing temperatures, you wouldn’t expect the Forsythia to be so bright, but with February being warmer than March, Mother Nature is scratching her head. This farm at the base of Roan Horsetop Mountain in far northwest Rutherford County wonders what season it should be celebrating.

Pretty! I couldn’t get over getting snow 12 hours straight, but only stuck to the trees and not the road. Perfect kind of snow ❄️!
Hey – I have noticed because of the warm February and mild March that we have had forsythia, flowering fruit trees and daffodils in bloom for over a month! It has been wonderful. The poor little daffodils will droop their heads with the cold, snow an drain, then pop right back. I have also had so many more blooms this year! Enjoy your posts! Nancy
