March comes in -- and goes out -- like a lamb

In Minnesota, we've come to expect one or two huge snowstorms during March.  Lots of heavy, very wet snow is the typical result and usually comes right after  a few spring-like days.  And they usually coincide with our high school hockey or basketball tournaments so that the teams and fans that come in from the hinterlands get to battle snow and lousy road conditions before playing in the tourney.

This year?  Nothing.  March started out pretty mild, got some rain, had threats of bad flooding on the Minnesota, Mississippi and St Croix riversheds but no snow.  And the floods were much tamer than predicted.

One local meteorologist noted that both Dallas and Atlanta had more than an inch of snow in March -- we had 0.0000" in Minneapolis-St Paul and just a "trace" in Duluth.  We've had several days in the 60s ... today it's supposed to get into the 70s.

Hope April is the same.  Of course, we have gotten a small amount of snow in April at times and I remember ...  nah, not going to tempt Mother Nature.
