We have a skiff of snow on the ground here in Remington! Cold 14* temp but the sun is shining brightly!!

Sorry spring birds looks like snow
pretty much every 10 years or so for each unusual winter storm. could it be related to solar activity?
March 2002 snow is much remembered. We were recarpeting our whole house and had planned on moving all the furniture to the driveway, till the 8″ of snow!
Maybe this is interesting this stirm
