The Unpredictable Winter of 2012

Mother Nature simply cannot make up her mind this year, or so it seems. She brought spring-like weather to the mountaintop in February, but then enough snow early this week to close the schools for a day. Snow began falling late Sunday night, and the ground was white for most of the day Monday. With trees like this crab apple in full bloom and flowers wide open, the piles of white stuff did cause some damage, although not severe, as the temperature climbed back up Monday afternoon.

Soon the snow was slush, and then just water. Rain is predicted over the weekend, although Friday is to be sunny. No point in guessing what the next month may hold, however. Photo by Lisa Broadwater.
