The Never-ending Winter


Last year in March, we were walking around in shorts and basking in 80 degree weather ... this year, we were toying with sub-zero weather.

We had to snap a picture to remember the crazy snowstorm of April 23.


Just when we thought we had broken through to spring for a couple days, we snapped right back into winter again with more snow.
But then to our dismay, we had to capture the crazy snowstorm of May 2 also! We sure got great use of our winter clothes/boots this year!

Everyone kept saying, "I can't believe this crazy, horrible weather." But then, we ended up saying it over and over and over again, for four months! Minnesota truly lived up to its reputation of a horrible winter/spring. In fact, it completely outdid itself! We broke record after record.

Poor Ellie's soccer season got cut extremely short. The snow wouldn't melt, and when it finally did, it was too soggy for the city to open the fields, so many games and practices were cancelled. Mentally it was a tough spring for everyone! But, somehow we survived!
