April Showers?

This morning we woke up to a winter wonderland. The weather service at the airport officially recorded six inches of new snow, but much has melted throughout the day. I actually like it, though, because it conceals our still-brown grass and the excessive litter that has accumulated on the roadways around here. (Yuk!) I'm sure that most of the white stuff will be gone within a day or two since the temperatures are expected to rise into the upper 40s on Wednesday.

There are a lot of "final four" basketball visitors in the Detroit area who were caught off guard by the snow. The television stations have been interviewing people who came to town without coats. Needless to say, local retailers are doing a brisk (no pun intended) business selling winter-wear to all of the wimpy southerners. That said, if any of them had bothered to look at a weather forecast, they would have seen that this snow was predicted five or six days ago. That'll teach them.

We should have built a snowman!
