i hate snow in April. but consider your selfs lucky, the snow you got either never stayed on the ground, or melted within a day.

here in NE Wisconsin we had about 2 days of freezeing rain, turing every thing in to a sheet of ice, and then last night we have about 5 inchs of snow, more in some places.
