Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2006WHOA!! April "GOTCHA!"
The "April GOTCHA!" is my dad's name for an April snowstorm, particularly one that hits after the switch to daylight-savings, after the daffodils are up, and after we've had a few balmy days to lull us into a false sense of security. And that's what's happening now. I cannot believe the amount of snow that has fallen here in the past two hours! And the wind!! It looks solid white outside. The cats are dumbfounded, and so am I!

My daffodils and hyacinths are in full bloom -- gorgeous. Today we have thunder and rain. I hope it doesn't turn to snow (It usually does) and breaks the lovely flowers down.

The winters are generally not as bad as farther north, but the summers are almost as bad as farther south.

Depends on WHERE in New York you are. I spent three years living in Syracuse, NY, and believe me, it's known as Siberacuse for a reason! They are known for 9 months of winter and 3 months of damn poor skiing.

Oh, I'm sorry, you're absolutely right. New York is a big state.

I didn't realize any snow was supposed to fall up there!

Having said that we did have some snow yesterday which is very unusual for this time of year, but at least the daffodils are out and the birds are nesting.

We can have snow until May, well, OK, I admit it, extremely rarely into June, but still, the worst of winter is usually over by now. There's a local tradition that Sheila, who is variously described as the sister, mother or wife of St. Patrick, sweeps out her house in heaven to prepare for St. Patrick's day, causing it to snow here right after St. Patrick's Day. This storm is called 'Sheila's Brush'. This year, we'd reached the last week in March, and I was cautiously optimistic that for once, Sheila had relaxed her housekeeping standards. Monday, March 31st, we got a storm that shut the city down and which was followed by about a week of icy, nasty weather. <sigh> SignatureCheryl > The "April GOTCHA!" is my dad's name for an April snowstorm, > particularly one that hits after the switch to daylight-savings, after [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > hours!

One consolation you can take, though, is that this snow won't stay on the ground very long, probably not long enough to become all gritty from dirt and car exhaust. (That's one thing I used to hate about snow.)

True. It's all gone now. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Make Levees, Not War |
