April Sunshine?

The weather this week has been cold, wet, windy and dismal. This morning there was an inch of snow on the ground!

Aren't we done with winter yet?! Spring means rain not snow, right?

I could write the month of March a sarcastically humorous letter or two, but I guess you could say I've been there and done that. It appears that all I do lately is moan about the weather. I know it's March, so it's not supposed to be sunny and beautiful the entire time... but the teasing is driving me crazy! We get some gorgeous warm days and I have a blast outside with the boys... then BAM! we get a snowstorm, it's absolutely freezing, and we all get stir-crazy stuck indoors for days at a time.

Is March always like this? Is this Spring really that unusual, or do I suffer from some sort of weather amnesia?

To be honest, I can't really remember what the weather was like in March last year. You see, I was a bit preoccupied with something someone else.

With little baby Eli I was a bit too busy to be thinking about the weather. By the time I was ready to go out, the weather was lovely.

This March Eli is not so little anymore, and my two active boys want to be out and about RIGHT NOW! Luckily it looks like this latest storm has moved past us for now and next week is supposed to be warmer and drier. I guess I may not go crazy after all.

Hooray for April!

  2. It always snows in March. Some of my worst road trips were in March. It's Mother Nature's sick joke!

  4. I'm afraid it's always like this. I hate March, it's an ugly month. Either it's snowing or it's warm but the trees are all still dead.

    But April is just days away!

  6. Weather is crazy all over! I remember last year we really didn't have spring, it was cold til June then hot! I'm hoping that spring comes this year, but I'm beginning to think we only have 2 seasons round here summer and winter each lasting 6 months!
    here's to spring!

  13. I'm with you...I firmly believe that after the first official day of spring the temperature should not drop below 65! Hope it warms up for you soon. The picture of Eli is precious...love that sweet little halo of baby hair!

  14. I'm anxiously awaiting spring but I must say I don't mind the snow. Here at least, unlike Calgary, I know the sun will come out and melt it in no time. The only problem is dealing with home bound toddlers. Who have snuck out more then once to play outside in the snow.
    It'll come I know it will.

  21. Yeah, the weather has been wierd lately. We had snow in March, for goodness sake. March!

    I loved the picture of your son. I used to close the doors so my son couldn't get in them, but then he was old enough to pull the handle down...bummer!

  22. I've realized on sunny days I'm in a much better mood....I wish it would stay for good!

  27. I agree! 70 to snow is a bit strange! I can't remember the weather in previous years either, but lets just hope for sun and warmness! lol!

  28. I don't think March is nice anywhere!! We've had so many cold, dark, cloudy, rainy days lately that I've forgotten what the sky looks like!

    But it WILL get better - promise!
