8 am: I'm out walking the dog and notice that there had been some light rain during the night (not that I would have noticed cuz the wind was blowing so hard, it felt like someone was pounding on my window, trying to get in). So, I thought, hmmmm, maybe that was it. But the air still smelled of rain and there were a few clouds so I knew we could get a bit more...
8:30 am: it gets so dark outside that I have to turn on all the lights in my little room. I look out my window and actually say, out loud: wait! When did it snow on the mountains?!
9 am: The wild winds start to really blow again and then suddenly, the rain begins to dump! (so much for going to the dog park for a mellow Saturday morning)
9:30 am: sitting down to a late breakfast and I glance out the window at...snow?!?! The wind really picks up and there is a wall of white! (isn't this supposed to be April? You know, SPRING?)
10 am: full stop. Ummm, did any of this really happen? OK, as the clouds recede, I see the mountains are even whiter, so I guess it did...
3 pm: it seems the weather has done it's business for the day, so I go off to run an errand. But as I pull into my parking lot, it begins to...hail! Hard! And a bit of thunder to finish it off. So Buttercup and I stick it out in the car till it subsides enough to get across the lot and up the stairs.
(and last month I was freaking out about dealing with the heat we were already having).
OK, for some of you this could very well be a perfectly normal spring experience...but for an ex-California girl, this is pretty crazy. Of course, I love it. The earth is so alive when weather happens. A great day to snuggle down with your guy, watch old movies and just marvel at the show outside. All I need now is the guy...
