SNOW? IN LATE MARCH?

Question: Why have the weather folk on TV been looking a bit embarrassed the last few days?

Answer: Because after several nice days of spring-like weather and warmth, they are at a loss to explain SNOW and 32 degrees on March 28th.
Aint no joke though. Snow covering the lawn this morning.
Then lots of hail and snow pellets in the afternoon.
And behold, fantasyland.

Then snow and plenty of it for a while. First the deck and then the shrubs are covered, and the cars, and the woodpile, and all the other surfaces other than the (warmer) driveway.

When the granddaughters came in late afternoon, the sun even peaked out while it was still snowing, and Jessica took my camera out to photograph this daffodill wearing a crown of ice.

Totally neat. And what will April look like in a few days?

A Lion? or a Pussycat?
