We had a three day storm last weekend and it took another day to dig out. Here is western Prince Edward Island, the wind was the worst part of the storm. While we didn’t have as much snow as the remainder of the island, the high wind caused drifting and white-outs.
It was Wednesday before we walked the boardwalk again, and we weren’t surprised to see that the wind, which had been out of the northeast during the storm, had blown off-shore much of the ice, except that at the head of the bay.
By Friday, slushy ice was forming over the bay again.
Before long all of the bay would be frozen again.
However, Sunday was a sunny day with 3 degrees C and it provided the look and feel of spring.
A pair of Mallards floated by the bridge
and a small flock of American Black Ducks lined the banks of the stream, enjoying the rare February day.
The weather is turning cold again this week but the taste of spring this past weekend was lovely.

Yeah, you guys really got hammered! Glad everything's back to normal again.
I always love to see your pictures of your world. Just beautiful indeed. Aren't those sunny days in February wonderful? :-)
I heard you got a bad storm up there. Nice to have a little break!
Beautiful scenes!
i had to google it, 3 degrees c = 37 degrees f...so yes, that is warm for you!! it's wonderful to see the sun when you have not seen it in a while!!
the bay is so very beautiful, any way you "snap" it!! hahaha
That storm was really something. I'm glad things are back to "normal". Spring isn't far off and a little taste of it is always a delight. The different images of the same view are lovely.
It's a little brighter here today, which pleases me.
Beautiful photos of all the nature in your world!
Love the sun sparkles on the bay.
We had 1 day of spring like sunshine after so much rain.
Our almond tree thinks it's spring and has begun blossoming.
I'm actually going to go out and pull some weeds before the next bout of rain comes in.

Beautiful scenes! I hope things are back to normal after the storm.
Brrrr Marie, cold but pretty too. It was a lovely sunny day here in S Wales,
9C Big coat weather for me!
Gorgeous photographs, the weather has a way of creating drama in the winter. The duck looks like he wants to take a snooze.
I saw pictures of the immense amount of snow others on the island got! Glad you were spared the snow, and only got the wind, although that is miserable too! So wonderful to get that taste of spring, what a blessing!
You had a bad storm with all the worst things.: snow, blowing snow , cold, white outs. I hope spring comes and you get rid of some of your snow.
I read about your storm. Glad you have dug out.
Most of our storms been south of us.
Such extremes. We get cold rain and warm rain and occasional sunny days. Glad you managed to get out.
Everything is amazingly beautiful along the Boardwalk and across the bay.I just love the views from the bench seat! I believe, that sadly, the wamrmer temperatures turned everything slushy. I hope you were still able to walk.
[Your snowfall definitely lighter than at Cornwall.]
Hello,
We had a little snow yesterday, colder temperatures and winter are not ready to leave us just yet. I love the view from the bench. I am happy to see blue skies and sunshine. Take care, have a wonderful day and happy week ahead!
winds at your island sound terrifying dear Marie
but what made my heart leap with joy was image with 3 c and melted water :)))
birds look so happy to find weather little comforting so do you must feel my friend .
hope of the spring before the spring makes one feel happier :)
more comfort on your way
It is amazing how quickly the weather can turn. It snowed here on Monday overnight, turned cold last night (-17C this morning) and it's been melting this afternoon, though it hasn't warmed up much.
I love the sunny day photos - spring can't come soon emough.
I'm pleased you had a few days respite from the storm and had blue skies and better temperatures. I love all your views out to sea, sitting on the bench being warmed by the sun must be nice. Lovely to see some wildlife too.
All the best Marie.
Sonjia.
Glad to hear that all is well, Marie. You have been severely battered this year.
Beautiful photos. Nice that you were able to enjoy a taste of spring!
Sorry I've been unable to leave comments, but I always enjoy your posts.
Marie it certainly looks very cold but oh so beautiful. Your photos are just gorgeous. We as well had a taste of spring last week but awoke to about an inch or a little more this morning. Guess winter is not done with us just quite yet! Take care and have a super week.
We have been having rains, rains and flakes, and rains....No thunder with our rains till yesterday. Now Monday, we actually had thunder snow! Ever had that?
the weather has been unpredictable here and it sounds like everywhere. i know you have had some serious storms from what you have shared, i have a love/hate relationship with them. you know i love snow, fun snow that does not cause any damage. the third picture is outstanding, the 4th a close second. i'm glad you were able to get out for a walk, i know how important those walks are to you!!
How very beautiful! Your island is very different to mine, of Oahu. I happened by from Anvil clouds blog. Aloha to you
Marie,
As the weather turns cold again, your reflection serves as a beautiful reminder to cherish these brief interludes of warmth and the promise of renewal they bring. Thank you for sharing your experiences and observations, which not only document the specific weather events of your region but also celebrate the resilience and beauty of nature in the face of adversity.

I like looking at snow in photos or from inside but I don't like being in it. Thank goodness we are in Florida. Your photos are beautiful.
That sounds intense. Good to hear there was no property Daman age and everyone was safe.
