It's not sticking, but snow in April is really necessary, don't you think?

When I was a sophomore in college, I sat out and tanned on April 1st, and we had 6 inches of snow the next week. I could have sunned on April 1st this year, too!

It is too funny. My red-headed, fair-skinned dd4 actually got a sunburn on Saturday, and now it's snowing. Ugh!

We wore t-shirts outside last week. I almost packed away the snow clothes, but decided to wait, just in case it got cold again.

This morning my kids were trying to make a snowman. You can see the grass where they rolled the balls. I bet the snow will be gone by tomorrow.

Snowing here too! Just finished taking pictures of the robins in the snow.

What is it that Mark Twain said about weather in New England (and the northeast in general I'd say) ... wait a few minutes and it will change?!

It's so funny. As of now, 12:13 pm, we don't have a flake here. I guess the snow will come soon though!

It was snowing here too this morning in Cleveland, Ohio. That is not uncommon here for this time of year due to the cold Lake Erie temperatures. We have colder springs and warmer falls due to being 1/8 mile from the Lake. My crocuses are just starting to bloom whereas a mile & a half south of us, they are finished blooming and are already into daffodil season! It is funny because our street is about 1 1/2 miles long (from north to south) and at the far (south) end of the street, the growing season is different by about two weeks or a wee bit less.

I have to admit that I have had enough of snow for this year.

We've had the perfect weather down South -- chilly (40s) in the morning than mid-60s to mid-70s in the afternoon....beautiful sunny, clear skies! It will probably ice on Easter!

I was just out planting brussel sprouts in my garden and considering applying sunscreen. It's amazing the difference a few hundred miles makes

Well, it finally did arrive. The kids were actually outside catching snowflakes on velvet! That's one activity I thought we'd set aside for the season.

Now the skies are a brilliant clear blue dotted with friendly looking clouds. You would never know a mini-storm had passed through today.
