Oh No, More Snow!

We had a record low this morning, 6 degrees. It did warm up to the 30’s. The weather report this morning brought more news we didn’t want to hear. A storm watch for tomorrow, it’s to start snowing tomorrow afternoon through Wednesday, and we may get 6 inches. Lately, when they tell us the amount of snow we are to get, we’ve been getting twice that! Our News 6 weatherman, George, commented that it’s the “spring that won’t quit”, I’m thinking it’s more the “winter that won’t quit!”

Tonight I received two e mails from southern climates, telling me how unusually cold it's been for them. My friend from Louisiana wrote that they had snow, they never get snow. She got off the street as soon as she could, as she said the drivers there have no idea how to drive in the snow (she grew up in Erie, PA)! My cousin also wrote me from South Carolina. All the azeleas were in bloom, and they had hard frost the last few mornings and it ruined the azelea blooms.

I guess it's crazy weather everywhere. Back home in PA, they too, had beautiful warm weather in March, only to be followed by severe cold the end of March and this past week.

The photo I’ve posted was taken by Jonathan Lund. This house is downhill from us. We had a lot more snow than this over the hill. This homeowner here in Duluth, is well known for his snow sculptures. He has done many, most are Christmas themes, but he has also done King Kong, animals, presidents, to name a few. This year, with the snow at Easter time, he did a big bunny. Maybe by Wednesday he’ll be able to make a basket to go with it!
