Some parts of the world have had
really frightening stormy weather during early April.
I hope that the Easter weekend is more merciful for these.

Here in eastern Massachusetts
the spring rains are in force,
thankfully we have no more snow or ice,
although the wind is something to reckon with.

Wishing all fellow Mudcatters a festive Easter, regardless.

Lovely here in North Yorkshire. Dunno how long it will last and, statistically, in the UK it is more likely to snow on Easter Sunday than Christmas Day!

Beautiful here in The Backwoods, UK. Having spent last evening within six feet of Molly Tuttle, enjoying her great singing and astonishing guitar-talents, and now the lovely sunny day we have here, I’m a very happy Backwoodsman indeed!

"Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote (and causethe smalle streames to brak their bankes..)
And bathed every veyne in swich licour, (so that the veynes might clyme the house)
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
        Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye, (presageth Twitter)
        That slepen al the nyght with open eye-
(So priketh hem Nature in hir corages);
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages" (or hideth heade in bede)

If you're in Massachusetts, today is Patriot's Day, because on 19 April 1775 the American War of Independence began in Lexington and Concord Massachusetts.

Here in Anchorage we awoke to 2" (5 Cm) of snow on the ground and swirling snow and low visibility. Extraordinarily late in the season as the city has just been removing all the gravel from the Winter. Now the sun has come up and we're over 40 F (4.5 C). But we are told we're in for a snowy Easter/ Passover weekend.
