Early this morning my son woke me up and said "Mom ... you gotta see this!".  He dragged me from my bed to look out the window at .... .... .... snow. 

Now that might not be so unusual in late March, but this past couple of weeks has been in the 50's and 60's with brilliant blue skies.  Yesterday it was 53. The yard has been trying to green up, the plants are trying to bud.  It was actually starting to look like spring.

This snow is not just your run of the mill light snow. It is huge flakes, coming down in thick droves.  The wind is whipping it almost horizontal and has been most of the day.  At last check, we had better than three inches and are expecting another two.  Again, not so much but .... it was 53 yesterday!  I've been trying all afternoon to find a photo that accurately reflects what I'm seeing outsdie my living room window, but have had no luck and my digital camera bit the dust some time back.

If I had any doubt that I am so done with winter ... this reinforced the feeling.  Bring back the warmth, bring back the greening grass ... heck, while you're at it, bring me a good old fashioned thunderstorm!
