This is Spring?

Someone forgot to tell Mother Nature that spring is here!

Diane took these pictures on 03/28/08. As you can see, about 4 inches of snow fell in her area.

Gary and I were a little luckier - we got less than an inch of snow - but we've been setting records all winter. We've had 80 inches of snow so far compared to the average of 38 inches. That's the second highest snowfall on record for our area. People are hoping we get another inch so we can break the all-time record, but I say phooey! I'd rather let that record stand!

The good news is that this snow didn't last long. It all melted within a couple of days and we're now enjoying temperatures pushing 60 degrees (accompanied by typical spring weather - sunshine interspersed with rain).

The snow was actually Diane's fault. She was so convinced spring was here that she hung up her "Welcome" flag in anticipation. She jinxed us!

That's alright. Diane can make it up to us later in the summer by inviting us over for frozen margaritas!
