Spring?

Spring is wonky here. 

Here is a short history of our March weather:

• The first weekend in March we had intense 46 mph winds that blew over our southern neighbor's fence and significantly tilted ours.  
• By the second weekend in March, temperatures were in the 70s.  We noted wasps, flies, and lady bugs flying, and spent many glorious hours in our shorts at the park.  Many of the perennials in my garden were waking up from their winter sleep, and the earliest of the crab-apple trees had leafed out.  Saturday March 12 we hauled in 2 yards of compost to amend our garden beds.  The garden was dry as dust, but the weather was glorious.  
• March 14 we had 49 mph winds again, which dropped the temperatures by 18 degrees in a 24-hour period.  And by the weekend we had nearly seven inches of snow.  I was ecstatic; the garden got a free watering!
• March 19 the daily high was 37 degrees.  March 20 the daily high was 57 degrees.  March 21 the daily high was 72 degrees.  March 22 the daily high was 71 degrees.  Today, March 23, the daily high was 35 degrees, and we got 20" of snow with blizzard-like winds.  Yesterday we were in bare feet in the back yard.  Today (tall man) Dallin was up to his knees in snow.  Wonky, yes?   But actually not too unexpected.

Here's a visual of our "spring" weather.

Here is our lovely little 7" snowfall

Snowy, but sunny & pleasant--out for a neighborhood walk

Here is our surprise 20" blizzard

Ezra, half buried in 20" of snow, and loving it!

 Dallin, our snow shovel hero, rescued at least three stuck cars, shook the snow out of the neighbors heavily-laden trees, and shoveled our driveway, making a very impressive embankment.  Thank you Dallin, we love you!
