A White Easter?

On Monday it was 80 degrees. I was all excited to wear skirts, tanks, and flip-flops.

Oh DC weather, how you tease me. Throw in a few really nice days to make me think that winter is over, then bamn, snow. In April.

It snowed last night and the low was some 20 degrees. Back to wearing jeans, wool socks, and fleece pullovers. Weatherman said that we might have a new record low for this time of year.

The last time it snowed on Easter in DC was in 2001. That year I actually did have my own White Easter in Minnesota. The whole concept just doesn't seem right to me. Easter is about springtime, pastels, egg hunts on the lawn (and of course the religious significance). Not snow.

I guess the same way I feel about snow on Easter is probably the same feeling people have about no snow on Christmas, which I've just gotten used to. I have gone Christmas tree shopping in my shorts.

Coldness aside, I'll be happy to see my Aunt and her family tomorrow for Easter. And on a final note, what's Easter without Peeps? Ok, I think they're gross but they appear to make wonderful art. Check out the "Peep Show."
