It is snowing very lightly right now...

Nothing will accumulate, it’s just too light. But it could easily be in the inches today.

But the mere fact that we have snow in April is crazy. That’s Michigan weather for ya.

Global climate change is behind this sorcery, isn’t it?

We're in the foothills of the Catskills in Pennsylvania and it's just flakes. Later today it's supposed to get sunny and up to 45º.

Weird weather and I'm ready for Spring.

That was in the 50’s and early 60’s.
Remember one was on Easter because I had gotten new shoes dyed to match my dress and was worried they would be ruined.

I'm not much for holidays. Never really have been. Too many expectations of what one should be doing.

Forecast is for two more inches Tuesday.

I hate Spring snow storms. Really, really hate them. When is enough, enough?

Middle of April, and I was suddenly driving in near white-out conditions. This was in southern Indiana. No accumulation, but it was definitely anomalous.

tomorrow. Not much, but it's April! Every time it warms up a little, it seems to slip back and there is more snow. I am so over it!

and fakes me out! I'm in Macomb and opened my blinds because the sunshine looked so inviting, but it was snowing. Is there such a thing as a snowbow like a rainbow???

First year I moved here from the South I was so depressed on Easter because it was grey and snowing big, fat flakes all day long and was cold! Easter may have been in March that year, but still. Easter in the South was always warm. I remember my kids running through the sprinkler on Easter one year. Never had to wear a winter coat on Easter.
