Springtime???

For the second day of spring, this sure looks a lot like winter. We're supposed to be getting up to 6 inches of snow tonight, with strong winds so it will be blowing and drifting. Kim's already gotten the call for a two hour late start at school.

(Tuesday morning) And it's off! School that is, Kim got the call this morning, no school today, the snow is pretty intense yet, but should taper off soon.




After all the warm mild weather this winter to have snow on the second day of spring seems a bit much. But then, we didn't have much of a winter this year, mostly just chilly nights and warm days. Although about 30 seconds after the last flake landed, the snow began to melt, and a lot of the grass was peeking through by evening. There were quite a few tulips poking through the ground, and the irises have begun growing, but even though there's snow, the temperature is not cold enough to damage the flowers.















On the good side, we didn't spend a lot on heat this year!
