It's raining!

I don't want to jump the gun, but is it too soon to say that Spring has Sprung? Hmmm...maybe I should rephrase that. Spring is poised to, well...spring. It's been drizzling for the past couple of days, but, unlike the women at the gym this morning, you won't hear me complaining. I will be beyond happy to see the end of the snow, and if the forecast is correct, that might be as soon as this weekend. According to the Weather Network, it's supposed to go up to 9 degrees, which ought to do the trick. And, if not, it should at least be enough to melt the snow off the BBQ!

I do have to say, though, it was a really, really easy winter. I think we went through a couple good weeks at -30, but it was beautiful at Christmas and there was relatively little snow, compared to other years. In fact, the red hats on my little Gnomes in the front garden were still visible all season long, as were the solar garden lights in the back yard. Fingers crossed for a quick melt!

That said, it makes me wonder if it was just a fluke, or a result of climate change. I mean, while we were giving our shovels a rest, areas of the US that never get snow got dumped on. Weird, right?
