10" of global warming

It's the end of April.  I had been pulling fallen trees out of our little woods and enjoying little fires.  Blondie has been riding her bike, we got a trike out for Red.  Sir was laying in a lounge chair soaking up the sun.  Just a few sheltered places had any snow left.  I was running around barefoot.

I had a women's retreat to go to on Friday night.  When I left my house it was snowing - but cleared up as I neared town.  There was about 25 of us ladies that met at a motel for a speaker, craft classes and prayer.  The snow came north.... by morning it looked like Christmas.  The interstate was closed from the southern border to the northern.  No travel was advised.  We listened to our speaker again and then just hung out.  Finally we figured the snow plows had done their job and we left.  There was a couple of spots on the road where the snow made it a one lane, but I had traveled on worse.  As I came down our gravel road I saw that there was snow in the sheltered area in front of our house.  I drove on in - and got stuck right by our mailbox.  Very stuck.  I drove 25 miles to get stuck by our mailbox.  I looked down the road and saw the snow plow.  OH MAN! If I had left 5 minutes later the plow would have been past my house!  It took Sir and me an hour to get the car off the road and into the driveway enough so Sir could drive around it.  We got into the house, looked at the clock (1:34pm), we had a funeral to get to by 2:00.  We did get there and it was surprising how many were there.  Several serving ladies were dressed "casually" as they didn't trust driving home and being able to get to the church with all the snow.

I got my car out today.  We just left it in the driveway figuring it will melt enough to drive out.  It did.  It is funny to see the snow melting and the green grass showing through.

So here is my question..... what global warming are they talking about??

"Casually"? I think I would have worn jammies! Really thick and warm jammies. =/

I wonder about this all the time. I live in the same state with Al, and I'm always tempted to try to get in touch with him when we have snow flurries in April or a frost kills all of our newly planted perennials.

You are SO FUNNY! We've had over 100 degrees here in CA - We could use a little snow.

Have a great week.
