Snow in the middle of April?!  YUCK!  But at least your boys are enjoying it.  ;)  Lets hope it clears up really, really soon. ;)

We are right there with you!  We had 6 inches throughout this week - right after a 2 month break and temperatures in the 50s.  We are back to the freezing mark (which is fine with me) but the snow melts, makes lovely mud baths in the yard parts that aren't graveled, and then re-freezes. We are still hearing the "snow" word for this week - just a few inches - as well.  I personally love the snow - its the muddy melt that follows with out LONG spring days.

Good Luck to you - based on our weather pattern that seems to cross the lower 48 - you may be in for one more shot of cold.  I loive 40 miles North Of Anchorage, AK and we saw single digits last night.  It seems to travel down from us - across Canada and eventually back east.  Hope this one falls apart first!

Ugh, somebody trade with me.  I would love some snow right about now.  It's 83 degrees today in San Diego and I am NOT a hot weather gal...

yeah we just had a  2 week thaw temps around 45 then back to the snow,
i think the snow caught some people here off guard cuz there was a nasty accident just up the road ambulances, cops and two mangles cars taken away on flatbeds
Just hope the ambulances were just precaution

If it makes you feel better, it's cold and drizzley here. 
I love Petosky....so quaint.    Been to the bridge a few times.  that's a gorgeous part of the state and so close to all the hot spots like St. Ignace and Traverse City.  I'm almost jealous.

its alright up here but there loads of cops with nothing to do
cop mentality:
if you're young you're a drug addict
old an alcoholic
black then your screwed.
it sucks big time.
but it looks cool in the fall and the lake is clean up this end so we can swim
i was just down in grand rapids a 2 months ago on a business trip going back for another in a month or so

Nice pictures and not to be mean but you made me feel a whole lot better about our Maine "spring." :)  It's cold and gray and foggy and drizzly but no snow today so I guess we can't complain!
