Not Quite Springtime

fresh blanket of white
     icing up the tender shoots...
           green grass is confused

windows steamed again
      blocking out the wintry scene...
              hoofprints in the yard

squirrels look for seeds
       dig in snow for something more...
                false alarm for spring

It's still about three and a half weeks until the equinox, the official start of spring. Your triple set of haiku describes the scenery very well.
