As you look close you will see the flaks of snow coming down, this was the biggest snow we had seen and at the close of winter, it even stuck to the cars they almost did not know what to do with it. This has been the coldest winter and the wetest summer in over 10 years, it even froze pipe buried in the ground. So cold yes it was and now the sun has been shinning for over a week and half.
