Snow on the 1st day of spring

This is probably not what the folks at Rita's had in mind.

Every year the local water ice icon celebrates the first day of spring by giving away free water ice.

But while their employees will be shoveling out water ice, their customers might be shoveling something else entirely.

That dirty four-letter word is back in the forecast.

Yes, they are talking about snow for the first day of spring. And not a dusting. Some forecasts are calling for several inches, which is due to arrive sometime Sunday morning.

My guess is that despite the local TV stations attempts to scare us to death, what we wind up with is something that covers grassy surfaces but leaves roads for the most part just wet.

This is not going to be a paralyzing storm, and it's entirely possible that we get mostly rain.

Just don't blame me if we have to break out those shovels one more time.

Oh, by the way, for the folks at Rita's: Make mine root beer. Any chance I can get a rain check, or I guess we could call it a snow check.
