We have had some pretty interesting weather the last few days,
to quote from a recent Eric Van Lustbader novel...
"one of those days when winter and spring, for a short time evenly matched, fought one another to a standstill."
Three days ago we had 2 inches of snow overnight, of course, it isn't permanent, and melts in most places very quickly.
Three days later we have this...
and this!
Isn't spring wonderful... the best of both worlds!
Of course my son isn't too happy that the snow is permanently gone at home, for him winter is a time of play and fun. Between sledding and skiing he's kept quite busy all winter.
By the way... anyone out there have an opinion on whether it's called sledding or snowmobiling or skidoo'ing? There is a great debate on in my family on what to call it.

In BC it is called sledding, in Alberta it's called snowmobiling, and when I was a kid (long time ago) it was called skidoo'ing.

Much the same in Colorado--snow in spring and a long time ago we went ski-dooing.
I remember skidooing, such fun. Falling off, getting left behind, trudging through snow.
Loved it.
