Snow?

[altivo]

It didn't last, but it sure did snow today. Hard. Visibility near zero for a while. Ground temperatures were well above freezing, so it was pretty transitory. On the other hand, I think we'll get a hard freeze tonight. Not that it's too late in the year for either of these, because I can remember snow in May a few times in my life. However, the apple trees are just starting to bloom, and ice or frost now could be very bad news.

Gary saw the fox again twice today, once with one of the kits visible, and once by herself out in the pasture. Clearly they haven't gone far. We think they are hiding under the old logpile on the edge of our woods, which is a good place for them. Lots of entrances and exits, and places to peek out from. Most of those "logs" are whole treetrunks that probably weigh in the tons each, so they aren't going anywhere. (Other than decaying.)

Writing this from the web interface on the Alpha. It's working reliably at last.

And now, back to the loom. [whipcrack in the background, chains rattle...]

It wouldn't stop snowing up here today. We got around six inches on the cars, and two inches on average on the grass. It still didn't stick much to the road.

On the same day as I sunbathed and went to the beach.

It appears we never really got a hard frost, thank goodness. They had predicted 28F for the low. Apple blossoms are just about to open, so it's not a good time for that. Now we're supposed to get thunderstorms for days on end.

You mean that winter storm and blizzard warning that was sitting in Minnesota and the Dakotas all weekend didn't touch you? That's bizarre.

The voops will be fine, they are adaptable.

But as for you, snow? Wowzers!

Global warming is making it so warm up in Canada that people are already sunbathing. That's where it is. Meanwhile, Minnesota and the Dakotas had blizzard warnings over the weekend.
