My phone reminded me that four years ago on this date, we had snow. The black cherry (Prunus serotina) had leafed out, and the snow weighed down the branches. The snow did not last long, however, as temperatures were above freezing, so no damage was done to the tree.

We woke up to this…

Well that’s a fine how-do-ya-do. Screw you, never ending winter.

Even Robin the cat is depressed by all of this crap.

If April showers bring May flowers, what the fuck does April snow bring?

Not Again

I posted something yesterday about how there was a little bit of snow during my morning commute and how snow in April sucks the big one.

I have been in meetings all morning today. Back to back to back, one after the other. Woah, that’s a lot of meetings. At a few minutes after noon I was listening in to the third meeting in the string and something caught my eye outside of the window. I was on a video conference so I didn’t want to stare at the goings on outside so I took the briefest of glances.

It was snowing like a freakin’ blizzard. Oh, fer cryin’ out loud. What the hell, mother nature?

It didn’t last long. I took a second side-eye glance about 20 minutes later and there was still some snow falling but it was much lighter. 15 minutes after that the meeting ended and the snow had slowed down to a few random flakes.

All in all this past winter was not that bad. It was very cold, and February had a ton of snow. Outside of that, it could have been much worse. Why then are we having to deal with snow falling on both the seventh and eighth of April. It is most definitely not winter any longer. At least it isn’t sticking but still… come on. Enough is enough. I want my spring to look and feel like spring.

Winter, go home. Your mother nature is calling you. Jerk.

Sometimes I wish life was never ending
And all good things, they say, never last
