As I sit here right now, the air is full of snowflakes but the sun is 
shining. When I got up (briefly) early this morning the lawn had a 
dusting of new snow. That has been melted by the sun even though it's 
only 29 degrees and it's still snowing! It's a weird world.
The part of the yard where my plum trees are, has a good 2 feet of snow 
left. The last 2 years in a row, we had one last snow flurry after May 
15th. We seem to be experiencing climate shifting. Spring keeps coming 
later and later but the weather stays nice longer in the fall. Last fall 
we didn't have a frost until the last week of October. That's about a 
month later than what I used to think was normal.
