It’s Snowing, and it’s almost May

April 27th, and there is a couple of inches of snow on the ground. Enough so I’m wondering if the Montery School needs any landscaping help. It’s not the snow that’s disconcerting, it’s the 3-7 ” additional forecast for tonight. The temperatures yesterday were in the 60’s, and now it’s about 36.
Here’s a slideshow of […]…Continue Reading It’s Snowing, and it’s almost May

I never get too excited about records, what the hottest […]…Continue Reading Snow, finally.
