Spring teaser...

If you saw the pictures in the last post... some blue skies, clouds dropping moisture in "isolated" spots, warm temps... here's the follow-up:

Later that afternoon, while it was delightfully pleasant, I decided to lay down and read for about an hour.  After a short span of time, I heard rain hit the roof.  I smiled.  Oh, it sounded so good; I hadn't heard rain in months.  In my mind's eye I imagined a very nice shower which would leave the ground a bit muddy, sure, but the air would be be fresh and the moisture would be gently coaxing new growth to emerge later in the spring.  The rain continued... I listened...I may have drifted into a nap for a few minutes.  But then, it was time to get up, and I was looking forward to ...

"What???"  Snow???  Sleet???  Rain???  The ground was covered in white slush.  

Seriously???

  3. Wow! That was quite a change in a short amount of time.

    Weather can be like that here too --- minus the snow and slush, of course.

    (Although we HAVE had snow twice since we've lived here. It just doesn't usually STICK.)
