winter in the northeast

It gets cold in Connecticut. I was excited for this because I thought we'd have tons and tons of snow. Then, the first two years there was very little snow. This year, however, was different. We had well over a foot of snow, and it stayed. For months. I couldn't wait for the "rocks of Gibraltar" at the end of the driveway to melt. They were as tall as me. For months. Now, finally, in March everything has melted. Spring is on its way, right? Not so fast my friends. Tonight we're supposed to get 6 - 10 inches. Tomorrow, another 3 - 5 inches. So much for my first crocus sighting...
