This is the view from our back door. It is currently snowing here in Duluth. Again. We're supposed to get 6-10 inches by tomorrow night. This, on top of the two winter storms we've already had since Easter. Easter! We woke up to snow coming down on Easter morning and we moaned a bit, but thought surely it was a freak snowfall on the last day of March and that the sun would soon shine and melt all the white off the ground. And then we had a major snowstorm the following week, which closed all the schools and turned off our power. And then we had another snowstorm this week which closed the schools again and left us homebound for yet another day in April. Suffice it to say, there has not been a single day in April 2013 in which the ground in Duluth has not been covered in white.
It's beautiful, to be sure, but right now I'd take some good 'ol ugly brown grass with mud mixed in. I'd take wet and sloppy sidewalks as the snowmelt runs down the hill toward Lake Superior. I'd take mushy leaf piles that were soaking under the snow all winter long. I'd take any sign that spring is finally on its way.
Where, O Spring, Art Thou?
Where, O Where, Hast Thou Been Hiding?
Do Not Delay Your Triumphant Return Any Longer!
We Invite You To Chase Winter To Its Den!
We Invite You To Melt The Snow With Your Sunny Blast!
We Welcome You With Open Arms!
Come, O Spring, Come!
