WHOA!! April "GOTCHA!"
The "April GOTCHA!" is my dad's name for an April snowstorm, particularly one that hits after the switch to daylight-savings, after the daffodils are up, and after we've had a few balmy days to lull us into a false sense of security. And that's what's happening now. I cannot believe the amount of snow that has fallen here in the past two hours! And the wind!! It looks solid white outside. The cats are dumbfounded, and so am I!

WHOA!! April "GOTCHA!"
We were supposed to get a big snowstorm yesterday but only got about 5
inches. It was very wet and heavy - like cement. A lot has melted already with 40 degree temperatures and intermittent sun. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

I hope it doesn't turn to snow (It usually does) and breaks the lovely flowers down. MLB |
