snow.
over 3 inches of fresh new glop. (on unpaved surfaces -- roads & parking lots were wet.)
and they're telling us that it will be over 50F tomorrow (that's 11C). I'm OK with snow in April, and I'm OK with 50F+ in April, but it's a bit much to have that happening on consecutive days. It will be sloppy and wet out there at least for tomorrow and probably Sunday as well. J's been saying that he really should mow the lawn, but probably not until later in the week when the rain has mostly passed us. I don't expect to be able to set foot in a garden until Thursday or so, if the weather folk are correct and it's going to rain every day between now and Wednesday....
I'm waiting for one last article for a newsletter. The managing editor told me yesterday "it's on its way", but I still don't have it. Which is annoying, because I have no idea how long it's going to be, and therefore can't really even start the layout. I can get the other articles edited, and the schedule sorted out, but I can do a grand total of One article (the president's article goes on the front page) until I get SA's. And she says that she's not been able to write because she's been sewing face masks, which is a good and useful thing, true, but surely someone else can do that for an hour or two while she writes an article that no-one else can, right? Or at least she could think about the article while she's cutting/sewing/trimming threads. (OK, I may be weird, but I often use my sewing time to think about things I need to write, which makes the sewing seem to go faster, and does make the writing go faster, as I've already thought about what I wanted to write.)
