Spring (meteorological) sprang yesterday and I forgot! And yet, it does feel like it - here anyway, in southern Louisiana.
But that doesn't mean that there can't be a lot more snow falling in the mountains. More than once the big ski mountain in central Oregon, Mt. Bachelor, has hit their maximum snow depth in April. Because it's warmer, the air can hold more moisture...but if it's still below freezing in the mountains that can mean bigger dumps of snow -- while raining at slightly lower elevations. But you knew that.
