We've had very interesting weather the last couple of days. First of all it's been raining - which is uncommon anyway, but this was weird rain because it came straight down (not sideways). After 2 whole days of rain, it turned to snow during the night. The snow, like the rain, came straight down! I know other places get snow like this, that's damp and falls down in such a way that you can see how many inches it is (rather than blowing into drifts 8 feet high), but not in NE Wyoming... this is madness. I went to work for a few hours this morning, until school was cancelled. I made it home without getting stuck, despite the "level 2 snow emergency". That was when I discovered that my mom's lovely flower bed, which had sprung to life last week, was now buried. These tulips, among some others, were shielded just enough by the house that they could still poke their heads out of the snow.
