So, I put my snowblower away 3 weeks ago. And THAT'S why it snowed here in the northeast. Sorry, everyone!
As a sidenote, I have a "sign" that constitutes the official beginning of spring and the end of winter weather, and even in the midst of some warm, sunny, spring-like weather two weeks ago, there was no "sign". 'What is it,' you ask? It's when the first woodchuck appears from underneath our garage. Yep, my very own Punxsutawney Phil right here in our own backyard! He KNOWS when winter's gone for sure and that it's safe to come out and nibble on the new tender green shoots. And so far, he hasn't made an appearance. I'll keep you posted. Until then, keep your snow shovels handy.
