Absolutely.
New England will never melt. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
(For the good of the children, this isn’t a comment on global warming.)
It’s snowing in upstate New York, too, and the little lake outside my window is still frozen. Last year at this time, it was warm and wide open, with a pair of swans cruising happily around.
I am reminded of “April is the cruelest month.”
I absolutely hated snow in April. I knew spring was here when I could hear the spring peepers.
As my childhood house was surrounded by swamp on most of two sides, with a nearby river on other sides, there were peepers a plenty.
Two blizzards in Iowa in March. 10 to 15 inches in my area. Now it is just cold and windy. Gardening has been pushed back. Normally spinach, lettuce, kale, potatoes, and peas would be germinated and growing fast. Climate change apocalypse and the Yellowstone mega volcano are upon us.
Eh, par for the course. I remember about twenty years ago coming back from a week in Florida and being greeted by a blizzard that left about a foot of snow on April 1.
Snowed today in Denver for the Rockies home opener. That’s pretty normal here though, more snow in the spring almost than winter.
Get out. GET OUT RIGHT NOW! THE GLACIERS ARE RETURNING.
Y’know, the Old Farmer’s Almanac had PREDICTED a long, cold, winter.

More like slushy rain in my neighborhood.
I’m still amazed that my daffodils don’t freeze in the spring snows.
It’s April 7th as I write this, and it snowed last night – in KENTUCKY !
This is due to global warming, right?
