April Snow

From Friday evening to Saturday morning we had a bit more snow.

It was just enough to create an effect on the train cars that I enjoy, particularly the tank cars. They look as if someone has touched them up with cake frosting.

This bit of snow pushed this winter into the top four snow falls. Record #1 and #2 were in 1981/82 and 1983/84. I well remember those winters. Record #3 occurred when I was in first grade and living in Iowa. I have vague memories of that winter -- something about my dad carrying me up the big hill by our farm. I don't know if he was carrying me to where my grandparents lived or we were going to the top of the hill to sled down.
