I thought it was still winter

Last evening we had a nice snowfall and this morning I had to shovel a couple of inches of snow off the driveway. I had been thinking how nice it has been to have a real winter this year - plenty of snow, plenty of cold. It just seemed right - the way winter is supposed to be in New England.

Things changed in a hurry. The temperature shot up today over 50° and we've had rain of biblical Hadean proportions. So much for the continuation of our winter wonderland.
