Blizzard - 4 days after the 1st day of SPRING

Living in Wyoming, we are used to weather events like blizzards instead of flowers in early Spring. And the ground hog event in February- well that's a joke here as we know there will be no early Spring whether or not he sees his shadow.  This is my giraffe that is a couple of feet tall in my patio. Seven inches so far.

 These are the bushes in front of my townhome. And the reason I was out, see photo below. I could not see out my front window and went out to broom the snow off.
