Winter arrives

It snowed here yesterday. Not much, just an inch or so, but it was the first time all year. One good thing - last week it was bitter cold (for here), but today it was in the 30s all day - it's 34° right now, in fact. The grass was poking through the snow by this evening ... I just hope all the things that thought it was spring recover when spring does, in fact, come. You could almost hear the other trees saying, "Look, we told you: length of day, idiots, not temperature. Length of day!"
