A Tale of Two Seasons - Manette Ct - Spring Cherry Blossoms & Winter Blizzard 2016 (Janice Chang)


"A Tale of Two Seasons - Cherry Blossoms in Spring & Blizzard 2016 in winter"

Enjoy the Wonders of Mother Nature.  

April, 2015 – Spring Scenes at Manette Ct.

We do not need to be one of the crowds at DC's Cherry Blossom Festival. 





January, 2016 - Blizzard

We have the real taste of "dig out", "snow in" and "blizzard" from 1 1/2 days non-stop snowfall on 1/22/2016 - 1/23/2016.  
  
 The famous X'mas light at the neighbor, Roger's front yard helps "Man of the House" - Ben's shoveling easier.  The narrow sidewalk and the driveway finally emerge after every four hour's shoveling - total of 24 inches on the official Chang's stick - drifting snow in the backyard - 30 inches.

It was unbelievably quiet during the storm on Saturday; the only sound was from the big snowflakes pelting the foggy window panes all day.  It's a beautiful sight to see the layers of snow formed on the windows.  However, on Saturday 6:13 a.m. - the big boom of the thunders awoke me from the silent night of never-stop snowfalls.  We were told it's a rare weather phenomenon.


What a contrast between the seasons.  These photos represent the best of each season in Maryland.  Despite of the inconvenience caused by snow, whether dusting or blizzard, I still prefer the change of seasons in this part of the country.
