Technical Difficulties from on Top of the Mountain
2005-03-14
  Its not over, till its over.
So on Saturday, the sun was shining, the temperature was a balmy 65°, the snow in the shadows was melting off, and the kids were running around outside playing without jackets on. It felt like spring. Yesturday a few clouds rolled by, and we got a little rain, but I still remained optimistic that winter was over.

This morning was a bit of a shock. I was supposed to take my car to the shop today, but it doesn't look like its going anywhere, at least for a while. I probably shouldn't have left it out in the middle of the yard, but I wasn't expecting to be snowed in. Apparently, the rest of the town was equally surprised, as at 10AM the roads still hadn't been plowed, according to reports from friends. Glad I didn't have any plans I couldn't put off till later.

The kids take it all in stride. Yesturday it was playing at the park, and building castles in the sand. Today its making snow trains. They're good to go no matter what the weather.

Of course it's not over every Spring it starts to warm people think it might be over and *Bang* another storm swoops through town. Thankfully this one was short. I still expect a few more decent snow storms before May, one in the middle of April. :-)
