Mid April Snow Again? / myLot

Once we've had a taste of spring, the last thing we want to deal with is yet another April snowstorm. The trees were already beginning to bud or leaf out. These drastic temperature and weather changes play havoc with growing cycles. Damaged flower buds can affect fruit production. Gardening projects are on hold until next week at least. Some neighbors actually managed to mow their lawns the end of March. I'd like to get some cole crops into my new garden bed. Hope tomorrow's storm will not be a major snow event.

We have a little more snow too. Although not as much as you've gotten. I'm tired of the snow.

That is an unreal scene. I can't imagine steeping out into that.

Is it going to snow there? I certainly hope not. Im in Minnesota so theres no telling when it may snow again. Generally not after May. But up until then itskind of a wild card.

@irenen1 Do you usually get snow storms in April? Hope the storm does not interfere with the gardening projects you have started.

That is a nasty looking weather that you put up here.

There seem to have been a lot of posts complaining about spring being late. Hope the weather improves for you soon.

My goodness me, what a snow storm that is - and you are all supposed to be heading toward summer? Well it was snowing in SA yesterday in the Maluti Mountains - Central region and we have not even gotten into Autumn yet, So the weather patterns are really odd!
