Thursday in the park -

Note Playgrounds, like Babbott Park are also closed as social distancing is a must outdoors as well.

Thursday evening in comparison with Friday morning when the snow plows could be heard once again. At midday, it's still snowing, but at least it's not predicted to last long. Easter may include a great number of blooms, however it shouldn't be white either.

Enjoy more of Jody Hildreth's photography to remind you that spring is indeed here.
