It may be spring in my heart, but it's definitely white outside.
This was just the first wave. Eventually, it snowed all day, but after I took these first photos, 
it was so cold, I forgot to return and check on the new snow. You might be able to see how white it is, and also how many drifts there were. I hadn't realized how bad it looked until I decided the front glass had fogged over.
That's when I got a rag and tried to keep the difference between the barely warm house and the bitterly cold outside from fogging again until I could get one final photo. When I took this, the surface temperature was 5 degrees F and the wind chill was -7 degrees F. I sincerely hope it's warmer where you are.BTW, in case you were unaware, Liberal, KS won the pancake flipping race again this year over Olney, England. Bragging rights are intact.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I may actually take a few more shots of the latest snow before it begins to melt. At least we are supposed to be above freezing today for the first time in five days.
EDIT: Be sure to stop by the Free Kibble site today (shown on my right side bar). Two questions, right or wrong, provide much needed kibble to both cats and dogs. You can also donate free litter, too. Today is double scoop day, so please don't pass up the opportunity, whether you leave me a comment or not.

Brr! no thanks, you can keep your snow day..... hope it goes soon! It may be warmer, but it is very wet here today.
It looks very cold indeed - stay home if you can, and keep warm. It's a bit stormy here, but not cold. Valerie
It's unseasonably cold where I am in CT, but not as bad as you there in KS. I'm assuming the same storm that dropped snow on you swung by my area and dropped snow on me. Everything is now frozen, so the snow is like cement (because it was a heavy wet snowfall to begin with). I'm glad the bragging rights are intact for the pancake flipping race. (And I went to the free kibble site, and answered the two questions.)
I send you spring - at least in my thoughts my friend!
No winter lasts forever --- soon spring will come!
Happy day and good you remembered me to kibble!♥
White and beautiful just love it...but....it's hot here but we had some rain which I hope helped put the bushfires out not far from here.xx
Stay safe and warm , it doesn't look the kind of weather that any of us like seeing. I hope it doesn't last for to many more days.

Hope you're keeping warm with all that snow outside Elizabeth! Interesting that you mentioned Olney, I've been to that beautiful little village. There used to be a lovely craft shop there, where I took some classes.
Have a good week,
Alison xx
wow you did get the snow-when got to Missouri the winds just moved it on passed us-I think today is suppose to last day and night below freezing-I hope so.
thanks for sharing the freekibble site-I signed up for the daily reminder which is full of fun questions for the cat and the dog-which I usually answer wrong lol
stay warm hugs
Still a lot of snow. Hope Spring weather comes soon Elizabeth.
The view looks pretty much the same from my front door. Bitter cold temps here for the rest of the week. It's supposed to get above freezing by the weekend and the Equinox just a couple of weeks away! Just wait until I get my hands on that rodent, Phil. Enjoy the warm for me!
Spring HAS to be coming soon! Stay warm.
It's colder than normal here, but that means something much different here than it does there. Wow! Brrrrr!
OOhh Elizabeth !! It´s so lovely to see the snow and touch it, Yes, unfortunately here, we can get this opportunity, almost if we go to Sierra Nevada in Granada, there´s snow at the top of the mountain, my son went twice this year. But, for sure, it´s better you stay at home, and I hope Spring will arrive soon. Here today it´s windy and cloudy too, but I´m afraid it will not rain, so, please be free to send us rain or snow :)
I wish you a nice afternoon, and send big hugs.

Yikes!!!!! This is not a sight I ever see here in San Francisco (but there is A LOT of snow in Tahoe this year). Looks like the kind of weather to stay inside and drink tea or hot chocolate and make things! Stay warm and cozy.
the weather here is nuts too; I said when it was so nice in December we were going to pay the piper, but mom nature does what she wants when she wants and no one's gonna stop her !! ☺☺♥♥♥
sadly it looks much the same in my parts and to top it off it has been bitterly cold (teens and single digits) the last few days...
try and keep warm-and safe from any ice!
Lovely to see the snow as we still haven't had any and it has even been good enough weather for gardening which is far too early. It says it is 7 outside here just now but it has been raining cats (sorry Bleubeard and Squiggles) and dogs here all day so it is not freezing cold and the very strong winds have gone off somewhere else.
Love from Sheila
Snow! Good grief!
Thanks for the heads up on the kibble. I answered the questions;)
Yay on the pancake win:)
I'm ready for spring, too. We aren't getting snow, but we're getting lots of rain (and some of it windy and cold rain, which is playing havoc with my taking walks). Still, we need the rain here in California. I'm hoping it means we won't have terrible fires this summer like we did last year.
Our son lives in Chicago where the wind off Lake Michigan makes everything that much colder.
Your photos almost makes snow beautiful.
OK, comment times 2. Boy, it sure looks cold and wintery there. Worse than we had, although it is sure cold today. I clicked to donate my dog food, cat food and litter too. Hope it was a great Wednesday. Hugs-Erika
Well, it looks bitter cold there. Bitter here. It looks like youhad more snow than we did. Stay home and be cozy!
And thanks for coming over, leaving another great comment that makes me feel so good I blog and have blog friends like you!
Too bad there was no way you could ship the white stuff here, because I really adore snow. NC considered a really cold day earlier this week a whopping 40 degrees(lol) This weekend we'll get into the 60's and 70's! I hope he weather warms up soon where you are, and thanks so much for the great pics! Congrats on that amazing win by the way! Hugs...RO
Oh My Goodness Elizabeth! This looks so cold so I hope you are able to keep warm. The weather forecast says snow in the area where our caravan is but we are not going so will miss it hopefully! Hugs, Chrisx
