Snow: The Fluffy Stuff

And then in January I start asking myself how long it's been and isn't it time for spring? In February I'm sure it's time, but it's not. Then March comes and we all start wearing short sleeves when the temp gets above 45F because we're sure the warm weather is right around the corner. Then when we recover from getting sick from wearing short sleeves in the winter weather we go back to telling ourselves and each other that it's just about over. Then we finally hit April and it's still cold but they say that it's spring so we try to act like we're warm.

This cracked me the Hell up!

I live in the PNW and this year has been so fantastic! It HAS to be, to make up for the disaster that last year was.

I think you are right with your dog year theory. I also think it's like childbirth. Oh, that was last year and I don't remember it hurting too much, yanno? Then it hits and you are reminded that, indeed, it hurts.
