It's NOT Over, Yet

Winter has been in two words — wintry and snowy so far this year, not only here in Nashua, NH, but so many other parts of the US.

Since the start of 2026, there's been about 5 measurable snowfalls here, the most recent were this past weekend, Friday overnight into Saturday, and again on Monday.

Saturday morning when we went for a walk along the recently completed riverwalk, there were some beautiful winter images.

The riverwalk extends along the Nashua River. There's an entrance from the first floor of Clocktower Place apartments shown in the arrow above.

The above winter scenes, familiar to readers of this blog, were taken from the safety and comfort of our 5th floor apartment during and after this past Monday's blizzard. Yes, NH had more snow, some parts of the state received more than others. We were on the low side in Nashua and had between 6-7 inches of new snow. 

Yard and car of RI family were buried in Monday snowstorm

Family living in RI just outside Providence were not as fortunate. That city received over 35 inches making it the largest snowfall in the city's history. Family in RI were still digging out on Tuesday. The bottom photo above is one of the family cars.

Enough of winter as Spring is coming even if these robins are somewhat early and gathered around open water on the Nashua River on Saturday morning. The photos were taken from our apartment window; the robins were across the river.

Here's another photo that wasn't doctored, but taken straight out of camera (SOOC) later on Saturday when we walked along the riverwalk.

We saw a lot of robins. This larger group of robins, commonly known as a round, blush or breast, was in the tree alongside the river. Amazingly, the robins were quite tolerant of our walking and didn't fly off. It was the first time we'd seen such a large gathering.

Does this signal early Spring? Possibly not as American Robins are native to New England and are one of the region's most common, widespread breeding birds. Many birds overwinter in New England relying on fruit and berries as worms definitely are unavailable now.

While we'd like to believe the robins, another round of snow is forecast for early today. Thankfully, it's only predicted to be an inch. We hope the forecast is correct.

It's hard to see in this photo, but it's snowing again on Wed, Feb 25

A freight train goes by across the river weekly on Wednesday

As of 8 am, a light snow was falling over Nashua, NH. This one is quite different from Monday's storm with just a slight wind. Once again, the Nashua River is covered over.
