At the same time, it's trapping the hot Gulf air down there -- and where the two meet, it's making tornados and such.<br /><br />When I went out to the coop on Friday, I saw that the wind and heavy wet snow brought down a big tree. Snapped it right off. Luckily it did not hit the building.

Been a while since we've seen that. Climate is definitely changing!<br /><br /> Yonassan Gershomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918610823274529036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653992368546779574.post-28601086747688631112013-04-20T16:40:33.566-05:002013-04-20T16:40:33.566-05:00Holey Smokes, That is just crazy to see your place...Holey Smokes, That is just crazy to see your place blanketed.

I can remember year's ago when I was on my kid's school board(In St. Paul) we were planning to have the Minnesota State Band play at a parent's night. I suggested we do it late in the school year because we didn't want to have to cancel it because of a snowstorm. We planned it for late April and wouldn't you know we got a blizzard and the only ones there were the band and me because we lived a block away :) Hang in there--this too will pass, JoAnn Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
