Snow. More snow. Sigh.

I have been in a truly bitchy mood all day, and one of the reasons is that it’s snowing yet again.  Another nine inches.  Sigh.

The other day, we passed a bank sign that excitedly proclaimed, “The pussywillows are here!”  I don’t believe them.  Oh, I guess it’s true; moose have been congregating by the roadsides, nibbling on the branchlets with the rising sap, and I swear I saw some leaf buds on the trees lining our streets.

But now they’re covered with snow.

OmegaDad claims that in a month, it will all be gone.  Please mark your calendars:  April 5.  No snow.

Right?

Springtime is coming.

Right?

After all, this weekend is Daylight Savings Time weekend.

And in a few weeks, we hit the Spring Equinox.

So even here in the frozen north, spring must be coming.

Right?

Please tell me it is so…
