Spring snow?!

Barn, Rapid City

Well, it's back. It seems that snow and winter can't resist a few too many unwanted curtain calls as we head toward--ahem--summer. It started as a cold rain and moved into a heavy wet snowfall all morning, then back into rain this afternoon. And possibly more tonight, unless it doesn't decide to heed the forecasts. After which, the weather will be near-ideal for the next ten days or so. Unless it isn't.

But it was a lovely morning with a diffuse grey light. Here's what it looked like up here:

Crabapple blossoms in snow

Distant hillside in blowing snow

You'll remember these characters. Here they are in rapidly melting snow.

Maybe spring is in their step after all.
