Well okay then
Apr. 17th, 2020 10:44 amIt's snowing here. Big, fat, fluffy flakes. And it's just warm enough that they are sticking to /everything/ but not quite warm enough to all melt, so we have an inch or two of accumulation, and it looks like Winter Wonderland out there.
And it's not totally unprecedented, I mean this is Michigan, but mid-April is usually just cold snaps (like the past week) during which all the ephemerals hit the "pause" button and wait patiently to continue blooming without much bother. The whole "it looks like winter out the windows" is less common.
But it tickles my fancy, and it's Friday, and I don't have to be in another damn meeting until afternoon, so I'm going to have a Very Irish Coffee and maybe throw on a blanket and duck out to the porch for a while, because meteorological silliness like this deserves to be appreciated.
