April Showers Bring Snow?

What an April Fool’s joke! 12 inches of snow fell here, and that was after the amounts of snow were scaled back by the storm. Mother Nature has quite a sense of humor. I guess that we’re in a pattern of odd weather again. We were quite a bit snowier this year than last, but the storms were spread a little farther away than in some years. I’m not sure that we’ll see the amount of snow that we had in 1968-69 (I think that was the winter, and subsequent spring of flooding). I also remember that in 1982 we had a huge blizzard in April – a storm that was very sudden and big.

But let’s not reminisce about the past, and dig out our present. I had to dig out early yesterday, as I needed gas for my snow blower. Fortunately I was able to clear my part of the driveway before it had run out of gas. I had hoped that the next time I got gas it would be for my mower and not blower. That funny old Mother Nature. So digging out this morning won’t be too bad. Hope your April is starting out as well as mine is – got a busy day today, as Kate & I pushed everything we were going to do yesterday into today.

I’ll need music to help me dig out, and have the following tunes for this week’s podcast, a perfect companion for shoveling – or even relaxing. Let’s hear some Big Mama Thornton, Talking Heads, Faces, Traffic, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, Concrete Blonde, the Go-Go’s, the English Beat, Squeeze, Al Jarreau, Lou Rawls, and Mott the Hoople.
