As I gazed out the window this morning, only one thought came to mind - "Seriously?!?!? More snow?!" Did the weather gods somehow forget it was April 19th and we've had snow since September? Haven't we had enough of that white stuff already? Truth be told, I actually quite like the snow, but even I have had enough already! Snow is glorious in the winter.
