Spring

Today is the first day of spring and it's snowing. And if the weather forecasters are right, we may have a foot of snow before it's all done tomorrow. As with any weather event, it was the main topic of conversation at work. We checked the weather often hoping we could get home before it got too bad. Among other things we discussed how it is possible to get snow in late March and even early April, but it's rare. Or is it?

For this post, I decided I would post pictures from other years for the beginning of spring. I used pictures within a day or two of March 20--whatever I had. And you know what? The majority of pictures showed snow at this time of year. Sometimes a little and sometimes a lot. I guess the lack of snow we remember, is the snow that melts relatively fast with the warmer days in springtime. Here's what I found.

The beginning of spring through the years.
