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.

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

I've been seeing robins year-round here as well. Certain species stay, from what I've read. This winter has been terrible. My grandkids have not had a full week of school in 2026.
...the "Fat Lady" hasn't sung here either.
We got up to 3 inches of snow, during the NE blizzard. Today another 3 inches of snow is expected. It certainly has been a cold and snowy winter. I am thankful for the 2-week break from Winter weather that we had in Hawaii.
American Robins overwinter quite frequently and this trend has expanded in recent years. It’s always a joy to see them.
I thought of you when I heard about the blizzard. Glad to hear you've come out okay (and hoping the next snow doesn't make much of an impact).
Good morning, you captured lovely winter photos-I enjoyed seeing them. I am so fortunate that we did not get much snow here this winter-thank goodness for me-as I don't think I was up to all that shoveling. we were extremely cold though for most of the winter.
I loved seeing all those robins-that is a lot never saw so many in a group like that. for some reason at the woods property and here at the lake we very rarely see robins-and I do miss them.
Happy mid week hugs
It is snowing here, but we are robin-less. I like the bridge photos.
Beautiful photos, the cityscapes there are very New England. The robins gather in spring, I believe, to pair off for nesting season. The open water pictures are like paintings, Very frame and hang worthy.

Gorgeous photos.
You get a lot of robins in your neighbourhood. It's rare to see a robin in Belfast, just loads of magpies.
You got slammed. I suspect we will too again, though so far it has been relatively gentle, if cold. Be careful out there!
Your photos are like a beautiful urban wonderland. I especially like the one of the robins around the puddle. I did not know they overwintered anywhere, so I was surprised to see them! Here, they leave for winter and return in the spring.
Brrrr but your photos are stunning. You have such wonderful views from behind your windows. I am glad that you were able to get out and walk a bit too.
Great pictures of the robins. I have only seen 2 so far this season.
Stay warm and cozy

I know how difficult it can be to go to the grocery store when you get so much snow. It is dangerous and costly if you lose power. But is oh so pretty.
Great bird pictures! Hundreds of robins appeared here last week, to join the year rounders. Not a lot for them to eat, the remaining wild berries covered in snow. My neighbor put out cranberries, and suspects the squirrels made short work of them
Oh my word, all that snow covering the car! We are so lucky here not to have such snowfalls. Your images of the robins are delightful Beatrice 😊
That's a lot of snow! Your bird photos are wonderful.
So much snow but it was lovely to see the robins.
All the best Jan
We only got about 3 inches, but some places it was deeper with drifting. Enough is enough, that's what I say. We've had a really long winter this year, and it's still February. But I am thankful we didn't get dumped on like Providence did. They even got more than the blizzard of 78 dumped on them. Let's keep our fingers crossed spring will be here soon. hugs-Erika
Look at all those birds, look at all that snow??? Love your photos. Looks very pretty.
Great pictures! I love the snow pictures, but I will be so happy to say good bye to the snow. Spring, I am so eager to see you.
Lovely to see your snowy images. Not a flake to be seen this winter here. At least it’s stopped raining for now. Stay safe in those freezing conditions. B x
You really do have a LOT of snow! But the pictures are amazing! What a magnificent view you have from your 5th floor window! And also from your walk along the river! And the robins look so pretty out there in the snow. I do hope they can find adequate food! We've had Robins here a lot this winter, which is unusual that they've stayed around. Normally they fly through to further south in early winter, and then fly back through to the north when it's closer to spring. This time we've seen them hanging around. They must've known what was happening up north and decided they were better off to just stay put for a while. Our kids in Maine said they didn't get that much snow from this latest storm...maybe just 3-6", which I was surprised to hear as they are closer to the coast. It certainly has been an interesting winter, to say the least! That old groundhop knew what he was talking about this time! LOL. Have a lovely day!
And I thought eastern Ontario was hit hard. Whoosh. Loving the robin shots so much. they will not be here for another month or so. And your first shot with the caked snow is an absolue beauty.
I LOOOVE the shot with the birds in the trees. I know people are sick of winter but I gotta say, I'm not yet and I love the quiet of the season. That said, I'm excited to get back outside with the outside table and get to reading and drawing outside. Love that. Anyway, really great shots you have. LOOOVE them there birds. Cheers, Ivy.
You always take wonderful photos from home. These are exceptional, as always!
Awesome winter photos. You had to get out in winter to get these shots.
your images are gorgeous and i am just a tad jealous!! i see robins year round, gathered around the puddle they are extraordinary!! next storm, i will have to get out for pictures!!
What beautiful photos. At least the snow looks like nice in your town. The snow in New York looks like alien life forms now.
Supposedly it'll be 60 degrees here by Sunday, but I'll believe it when I see it.
O dear this is lots of snow
Despite the odds constant snowfall can cause your photos are exuberant and majestic dear friend 👌♥️
Those so w laden trees are looking absolutely magical and breathtakingly beautiful 🥹
Heartfelt thanks for wonderful shots ,they are treat for the eyes,specially those pretty robins scattered on white washed scenes looking like colourful beads spread in the vastness of white 🥰👍
I believe it’s sign of spring,I wish you early spring because you indeed have had loads of snow already 🙏♥️
