The Flurries that Blow in the Spring, Tra La
Bring memories of chillier
times...
With apologies to Gilbert...and Sullivan, too (as if
they'd be reading
this
blog)!
The snows of early March have been gone for some time. In fact, on March 26th, temperatures here reached into the 80s F. But April is upon us now, and last night we got a new dose of snow. It didn't amount to much here, but more northerly parts of Minnesota got several inches. I could say we had only a dusting, but it came with stiff winds, so it was more like a blasting of snow. The temperature this morning was 17 F, with a wind chill around zero. The chill will remain through the week.
Some people, eager to enjoy the splendors of spring, find these wintry relapses annoying. I count winter and spring as my two favorite seasons, and that may be why I prefer these unsteady transitions. Winter doesn't give up easily, but spring eventually prevails. And in due course winter returns. I would like it to be so, at least as long as I'm here to enjoy it.
