Since you asked... early in the month we had springlike weather with temps in 60s. Then on Sunday winter blew us over and it snowed S. M. Tu. W. Funny thing, it snow significantly and then melted before the next one came. The kid built 1 tiny snowman first day. 2 medium snowmen on second day. and 3 very tall snowmen on the third day. Now it is COLD with traces of snow lingering.
