They told us to expect it, but we didn’t want to believe it.  We’re lucky that it’s only an inch.  Some places up north received a foot.  Regardless, we should be seeing flowers sprouting, not snow.  Yesterday brought heavy rain and our first thunder shower of the year.  There was 0.53 in my gauge this morning and we received a little more snow after that.  It seems to have ended now but strong winds have replaced it.  I think we’re making up for the beautiful autumn that we has last year.
