The Fickleness of Spring

This meme was making it's way online amongst my friends, and I had a good chuckle over it.  It snowed a little these last couple days, which is weather's gift this time of year.  Spring in Utah, and for many places, is just the strangest phenomenon!  Well, growing up in California I was a little spoiled.  The "four seasons" are more predictable.  But here, it will be 70 degrees one day and then 30 degrees the next.  Life's not boring.

Though, thanks to the snow, I saw a news report that farmers were worried over their orchards, as trees have started blossoming.  Hopefully this cold front hasn't damaged crops.  Growing up in Porterville CA, which is an agriculture town (technically a city) is surrounded by orange tress, there was a winter where the temperature got below freezing, and a lot of those in the city rushed to the fields to help protect the trees.  This was in the early 90's, and thanks to that event, according to local lore, we earned the prestigious "All American City" award.  It was kind of a big deal.  The South segment of Route 65 was renamed the All American City Highway. 

Off topic! :P

It's cold.  I'm so ready for... a nice warm spring.  Not so excited for blazing hot Summer temperatures! I'll take a little snow.

And, for the record, many years ago it snowed in June.  It was a light snow, didn't stick, but we still had snow!  April snow isn't weird, I think we're all done with it. Heh.
