Winter Wonderland

Only it's March. Late March. Which means I'm relatively justified in taking issue with the three or so inches of snow on the ground. The three or so inches that weren't there yesterday morning. Or yesterday afternoon, for that matter.

Yesterday, I walked to school. It started to snow during my hike, which was fine. I was plenty warm. And I was treated to the hilarious vision of a guy riding a bicycle into the wind, his entire front thoroughly plastered with snow while his back was almost entirely snow-free. It snowed pretty furiously for a bit there. But then it all melted off. By noon.

We had a couple of flurries that disappeared quickly over the course of the day.

And then last night about an hour into rehearsal, we took a bit of a break and one of the actors looked up and said, "Holy shit. Is it snowing?" It was. Hard. In large flakes. There was about an inch on the ground when I left campus last night around 10:30. It's dumped a bit more since then.

I don't want to complain too much, because we need the water. The aquifer is in desperate need of recharging, and snowmelt is one good way of doing that. On the other hand, I would really, really like some steady sunshine and warmth. I would really like that.

I got snow too! It totally sucks and seriously curtailed the idea of wearing cute new spring dress to the symphony tomorrow. I will instead be wearing sweater dress and boots. :(

It's melting now, but my heart sinks every time I look out the window and see more snow.
