April snow

It wasn't that many days ago I sat at our patio table studying. It was sunny and warm. Who could ask for anything more in early spring?

Today was supposed to be a cool 40 degrees Fahrenheit with some rain. Now? It's snowing. Here's hoping that the saying "April showers bring May flowers" also pertains to April snow. :)
