Last Thursday it snowed most during the night and in the morning.

Today it is really heavy and wet. The poor birds, and robins, are completely confused.

And we are not done yet.

I can remember many years where it snowed in mid & late April. Even early May.
But never, ever a sustained winter that never seems to end like this.

And yes, I have even seen some "where's the global warming? (Beavis & Butthead laugh) posts.

we had 14 hours of spring, we had 5 days of summer, we skipped autumn, it is now winter again in Minnesota. It's snowing. These are not flurries, it is snowing.
