April (Snow) Showers Kill May Flowers

 Schools were cancelled far and wide in Southwestern PA yesterday.

The heavy, wet snow continued for about 12 hours, leaving broken limbs and downed trees, as well as power outages.

 Britches was not in the mood to come out into the snow at all. My high school pal Terry helped me get him out.

About 25% of one electronet fence was down, while about 75% of the other net fence was flattened by the snow.

 I forgot my gloves in the barn, so the rough hands I now posses are the result of getting cold and wet straightening them out.

Things looked like winter again. After the winter we've had, it probably looks worse than January.
