Snow & Thunder in April??

Snow falling in the front yard

The huge flakes in the back yard

It is almost the middle of April and we are right in the middle of a snowstorm. The wind is blowing and the snow is falling...and falling! This is what is looked like at 12:30 today and it is still snowing. The flakes are huge and just keep on coming.

Jena and Dad went out in the pasture to get one of the cows home that just had her calf this morning. Dad was concerned about the calf being out in the cold and snow. Jena remarked that the snow is so heavy that it is like walking through mud. The snow is heavy - some of our smaller trees are starting to bend with the weight of the snow building up on the branches.


The funny thing is that several times I have heard thunder. Snow and thunder??? The two just don't seem to go together. But I guess it is possible!
