And then it SNOWED!

Last week was warm - kinda like what you would expect for Spring...we did some yard work, talked about planting some bushes and flowers, and then, after being lulled into spring vibes, got rudely awakened with a strong gusty cold front that dropped temperatures and snow!! YIKES!

The wind had picked up as we entered the weekend. Saturday night it was again howling and when I looked out in the middle of the night it appeared that there was snow on the ground as well as  a foggy, hazy look.  And the wind kept howling! Sunday morning's light showed that the snow was in fact a reality - and because of the wind, the depth varied from wind swept grass to 4 inches piled up against the side of the house. And the trees (you know, the ones we wanted to get trimmed because they were dropping branches) were bending in the wind and dropping more branches. Thankfully, no trees came down.....  By Sunday afternoon the sun came out and the winds died and the sun melted much of the snow. Temperatures did drop overnight but are expected to get into the 40's today. We are SO ready for warmer weather!
