April Snow

I can't believe this. These were just taken a few minutes ago, as an extremely rare spring snowstorm is just dumping north of Seattle. This is as heavy a snowfall as we saw all this past winter. There were spots of snow in Snohomish County this afternoon, and a few minutes when it snowed at work, but it didn't really start here until I was walking Nikki. Even then it was pretty light. But after we had been back about 15 minutes, I looked outside to see this. The maple tree is covered with lime green flowers, now with a garnish of snow. A few brave, early tulips:
