So did you manage to survive that first day of spring snowstorm?
What snow, you might ask?
What's the matter, didn't you catch the TV news over the weekend. First they told toward the middle of last week that we might be getting 4-8 inches of snow to greet the first day of spring.
Then on Saturday they started to revise, with it looking more like a glancing blow and likely only a coating on grassy surfaces.
But it was still the lead story when I turned on the 6 o'clock local news yesterday. The roads weren't even wet, but we were assured crews were prepared to handle this "storm." I almost felt bad for the reporter standing under an umbrella with a little bit of rain falling.
As I write this I just glanced at the TV and yes, a reporter is confirming once again that the roads are wet. Riveting stuff.
They apparently got more snow over in Jersey.
We just didn't get it here.
What we did get was a really cold, raw first day of Spring. But that did not stop a huge line form forming at the local Rita's to score their annual tradition - free water ice on the first day of spring.
Who eats water ice when it the thermometer reads in the upper 30s?
A lot of people, I guess.
I suppose they didn't see the TV forecast either.
