Happy Spring!

.

Today is the first day of spring. Of course if you live in St. Louis, that doesn’t necessarily mean showers and flowers. When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say, “St. Louis is the coldest, hottest, wettest, driest, windiest place you will ever visit…if you don’t like the weather here, wait 5 minutes, and it will change.” Well, my dear old grandfather was right.

Last week, we enjoyed temperatures in the 60’s and the smell of spring was in the air. Today it is raining and cold. Tonight the rain will turn to sleet and then into snow. Most of us in the St. Louis area will wake up tomorrow morning with about 4 inches of snow on the ground! (If the predictions are correct.) Some counties to our north are expected to get up to 9 inches! I thought spring was supposed to be warm and the only thing to worry about was allergies. Tomorrow, many of us will be worried about how to get out of our driveways.

Well, anyway…Happy Spring everyone…Enjoy the snow!

Wos that sounds like our weather down south. We actually had the air conditioning on about a week and a half ago and we are getting down to the 30s over the next few nights.
