Why does it keep snowing in April?

I wrote this last night, when we were still recieving the 12+ inches on the ground.
This is the second April in a row that it's snowed during, and the first that actually stuck!
You ready?

The sky is white with brewing clouds. The wind blows softly and the sky suddenly starts falling.

Slowly at first, but with undeniable certainty.

As time goes on, the whiteness falling from the sky turns fierce.
Great, big, beautiful flakes swirl to the earth at a frightening speed. The ground begins to mirror the sky as they build on each other.

The trees start to groan, reflecting the feelings inside the houses.

"Why does Winter have to pout?" the flowers wonder, just like the Provo people.
"It's our time to shine," the blossoms cry, mirroring their thoughts.
"After all," states the grass, having just been freed of the crushing weight of a Utahn winter, "it is the middle of April. Why can't Winter let Spring show its face?"


Today the skies are blue. I hope that means warmer weather.

Bring on the warmth!

Very nice! By the way, the ten-day forecast shows 60-75 and sun after tomorrow!
