Snowing on the First Weekend in Spring?

I said that Thursday was the first day of spring, according to the Cassin's Kingbirds. Then I woke up this morning to an inch of snow on the ground. And it's still snowing. Yesterday, I unplugged the heater I use to keep the water pipes from busting. Today, I plugged it back in.

Yesterday, I went to Talin's Market to get some quail eggs. I was going to make some decoy nests for Brown-headed cowbirds. Today, I'm looking out the window at an almost horizontal sheet of falling snow. Temperature outside is 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and wind speed is 20 miles per hour.

Some people say "When life hands you lemon, make lemonade." You might expect me to close with a sentiment like that. But I just wish the sun would come out. I've waited months for spring. Now that it's arrived, I don't think it's too much to ask that it would just stop snowing.
