I am never going to hear the end of this

One of the things that drove me nuts about Massachusetts was how late Spring starts there. While the rest of the country gets the start on Spring (marked by the arrival of tulips, daffodils and cherry blossoms) in late February and through March, in Massachusetts, the large piles of snow have yet to start melting by that time and Spring usually waits until May to make its debut.

So back here, in the Pacific Northwest, I've been relishing in the Spring time weather... beautiful flowers, warm weather (it was 80 degrees last week). While there has been the April shower here and there, for the most part it hasn't been too bad despite the meteorologists saying that we've been having record wet weather.


Apparently in the Pac NW, the weather has the same moto as the residents...Go big or go home. Last night, not only did the weather set a record for the latest it has ever snowed in the Puget Sound area, EVER (since they've been keeping track anyways, which has been 100+ years), but this isn't even standard snowfall for Winter in this area...which is somewhere between a light dusting and 2 inches. What did we get instead? 6 crazy inches of snow. The picture above was the view out my window when I woke up. How insane is that?!

Joe is never going to let me hear the end of it.
