This morning we got a dusting, making it the latest in the year I've seen snow in the backyard. Early last week we got a few inches.
Our winters are generally so mild (though this past one was rougher than most) that my Nigerian blood doesn't curdle over at such oddities. In fact, we always get so much sun that all the snow is usually gone by afternoon of the day. Pico-season. Peek-a-boo season.
I'd meant to post this entry here on Copia.
