An Unwelcome Forecast
I heard today that tomorrow we are supposed to get 8 inches of snow! I said that I want to refuse that news. I don't want to accept it. It's absurd to have snow at the end of April!
But the temperature is significantly lower tonight than it was this morning. I wonder if it's possibly true that we'll get that much snow.
That much snow could make serious trouble for drivers. I wanted to put my boots and winter coat away but I didn't. However, I'm pretty sure our streets department has taken the snow plows off their trucks. I think it takes more effort to put snow plows back on big trucks than it does to get boots out of the attic or a coat out of the upstairs closet.
Wait and see. That's all I can say. I'll know if this is true or not tomorrow.

I just heard that there is a blizzard warning out for the thumb of michigan, cleveland, and into Pennsylvania, with 14 foot waves flooding the lowlands off the lakes. GOOD GRIEF!!! We just had a bit of rain, but it was in the 70's here today. It has been know to snow on the 4th of July though, and it of course melted right away.
Good luck!! poor birdies!!! they are all nesting I assume.

And I thought of all the little birds and how hard it will be for them if this snow does come as predicted. Leslie, a heavy snowfall in May is even worse than one on April 24!

What a horrible forecast. A skiff is one thing, but 8 inches -- that's pretty major. It isn't unusual for us to get a big dump of the white stuff in May. We had over 2 feet one year (quite a few years ago). The city ground to a halt and yet the sky the next day was a glorious clear blue. It was a winter wonderland but an unwelcome one.
Keep us posted.
