I just had to say something. Popped into the office (which doesn't have
it's blinds up yet), lo & behold - it's snowing. Honestly - maybe we
should
move to New England after DH can leave the current employment with his
pension! Supposedly the flurries today will become snow that sticks
tomorrow - only an inch or so, but still.

Weird. I understood this when I lived in Pittsburgh - then as soon as I
took the snow tires off it would have a real snow (April 17th - my first
year there).

Well, I guess it's kind of appropriate - we're going to the last CAPS game
of the season, so it's hockey weather. DH got to ref the CAPS alum game
last night, and of course go out with the boys after so he's really having
a
hockey weekend for April. They actually had flown in alums from Toronto,
and further parts - lots of fun for the guys, DH & our pal who was the
other
ref. And of course, for no reason, he threw out the center at one of the
first face-offs - our friend who is the color announcer for the CAPS.
Consequently, said friend "checked" his shinpads at the next face-off
opportunity. All in good fun.

I was just talking to my MIL in NH and she said she sent us the snow.
Thanks, Moms!
It's my favorite time of year - schizophrenic weather and the hockey
and baseball seasons overlap.

Why this thread just appeared is known only to the gods of the net....

But, we got pounded in NH - about 8 inches of wet heavy slushy snow. Lots
and lots of downed limbs and power lines. (we lost 3 6" diameter branches
from the big pine in the front yard)

But you live in NE - that's supposed to happen.

And it could snow again on Thursday this week! moan. Wonder if it will be
another snow day....

Hockey season is winding down in our house. DS has playoffs next weekend and
DD's season was over a week ago. She starts a skills camp on Wednesday with
new skates as she had gone up over a skate size from the old ones.

On the kinda' hockey side. DC - full of tourists this weekend, we're
driving downtown on Sat for the last CAPS game of season - and we drive
through the tidal basin area. Poor tourists - so many looking miserable -
bundled up and the indignity of the cherry blossoms having been blown away.
And in the afternoon - evidently and enormous line around the National
Archives for whatever the current exhibit is - plus the normal stuff. Just
really full of tourists - and we kind of felt bad as this is usually a
gorgeous weekend and it wasn't. Then I don't want to talk about the
thousands of very drunk Buffalonians that came down on party buses for the
game. Yuck. We just call them speed bumps as they're weaving around the
streets.

Well, got to run -

Hey - they're from Buffalo and really wanted a taste of spring. It won't be
spring there until July.
