A Spring Snow in Bethesda

It’s been a strange couple of winters in the Washington DC area. It has snowed several times – but it seems like it’s been a couple of years since we’ve really had much accumulation. So when they started calling for snow this week – I figured we wouldn’t see much – after all – it’s the end of March! Well you can imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to find the neighborhood covered with a few inches of snow – and more was falling. But mid-day it was well on the way to melting – but for a few hours – we had a winter wonderland in early spring in Bethesda. Here are a few of the photos I took in my neighborhood before the snow melted.

Snow-covered trees

And the nice thing about late March snows is that they usually melt quickly. It’s supposed to be in the upper 50′s later in the week . . .
