Happy April

I believe the last time I got a chance to make a post I commented on the beautiful spring weather we were having on the first day of a new season.

Now we are heading into April and quite frankly who could ask for better weather.

Saw some of the biggest flakes I have ever seen.  Tried to get a few pictures before it got dark.  Plus I didn't feel like wandering around outside.  Remember, I said we would hit 50 inches in my last post.  I will have to get the total tomorrow or later tonight.  It's going to be real close.

Question is can we get to 50.  Yes.  Mind you, as unlikely as it might be to get another storm late in the season of this magnitude as the days get longer, we are on the cusp of yet again cracking the top 10 snowiest recorded winters.  Take a gander to the right at the yellow figures to compare.

Don't be surprised to see snow next weekend.  This is my kind of spring.
