Spring Storm

Yesterday it was the first day that the mercury went up to double digits, actually 10.9 when Mother Nature fools us again by presenting us with a spring storm. A little rain followed by a whole day of heavy snow with heavy winds.

The warm day was making a great impact on the huge snowbanks and water was ponding on the roads and it really looked like a perfect spring day. This morning we were reminded that there were a few more days of winter. The roads are a mess but at least we cannot see the numerous potholes that dotted our streets as a result of the worst winter in years.

The children did not get a snow day as they are on spring break but nature has provided the perfect medium for a fun day in the snow.This snow might add an extra week to the ski season as well. Personally I like the snow even when I have to clear it from our driveway but it is a reminder that no one controls the weather except Mother Nature.
