I’m looking forward to Spring and the weather warming up. March is coming in just two weeks. March equals Spring, right? Spring equals warmer temperatures, right? Right…?

Sure, it’s snowed twice in the last week. But in the city it gets shoveled and salted and cleaned up so quickly that you kind of forget about it. So I deluded myself into thinking warmer weather was just a few weeks away. The snow was pretty much gone except for some piles on the edge of the sidewalks and street corners, and I could just imagine coming back from my trip to Utah in March to find a city on its way to springtime.

Well, today I went for a walk in the park and realized it is still definitely WINTER! I was shocked to find like a foot of snow there! I had sort of assumed the snow from last week’s storm had already melted away, based off what I’d seen on the streets of the city. Boy was I wrong! It was kind of sad to realize how long it’s been since I’ve been exposed to “nature”. I should probably go to the park more often. This nature stuff is great.

Despite the snow and my realization that there is still a long way to go before we start seeing green on the trees again, it was beautiful in the park today. Here are some phone pictures!
