It's a little early, but we're expecting a cold front tonight or tomorrow. <br />Our small lake in NY is sometimes frozen into April and there is one snow bank in a shady corner of the school parking lot that tends to linger into May. I imagine it will be starting to fell like summer by the time we get back. Happy Easter to you, too!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-68696944871648939392019-04-14T15:39:23.903-04:002019-04-14T15:39:23.903-04:00Audrey -Thank you...
