Ok, so it snowed pretty much all day on Friday, with basically just a dusting at our house...This is weird because it normally doesn't snow in late March around these parts.
But then Saturday night (March 29th), we were coming back from dinner in Woodinville, and it was raining about 7:30, but turned to mix just outside town. Within 5 minutes, it was solid snow - big heavy flakes. In another 5 minutes, and just moments from home, it was clearly sticking to everything, including the roads. The temp dropped from 39 to 32 in about 10 minutes / 5 miles of driving. Within 2 and a half hours, we had 4 inches of snow on our back deck, and had alreadly lost an apple tree due to the weight of the heavy, sticky snow.

Just 2 days before April, and we are pretty much burried in snow (ok, for these parts 4-5 inches is a lot of snow, any time of the year!). So tomorrow is opening day for the Seattle Mariners. Spring is in the air, but winter is on the ground...Here is my kid's play set - not exactly ready for "opening day".
