Snowmeggedon

It's April - the time you'd expect grass to be greening up, crocuses blooming, turtles sunning themselves on logs and rocks around ice-free ponds. Ideally, that's the way things happen.

But not in Minnesota - not this spring. We're under a Winter Storm Warning - six inches of snow expected by midnight with more on the way tomorrow. Does it even make sense to call it a "Winter" Storm Watch when it's April? If it snowed in May (or even June given how things are going this year), would it still be labeled "Winter"? Is it because of the snow? Then why not just call it a Snow Storm Watch?

Lots of questions, but few answers. And the main answer we're looking for is - when will it finally, really be spring?
