The First Day of What?

Today is supposed to be the first day of Spring and we are under a winter storm watch starting later tonight. UGH! Just as the snow has just about completely disappeared, we are subject to more snow. The following was issued by the National Weather Service out of Chicago:

URGENT – WINTER WEATHER MESSAGENATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO IL446 AM CDT THU MAR 20 2008 

HEAVY WET SNOW AND SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

 A STORM SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES EARLY THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE SOUTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY TONIGHT. THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK FROM SOUTHEAST IOWA ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND INTO CENTRAL INDIANA ON FRIDAY. HEAVY WET SNOW IS LIKELY NORTH OF THE TRACK OF THIS LOW ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS EXTENDING EAST SOUTHEAST INTO FAR NORTHWEST INDIANA. INCLUDING THE CITIES OF…DIXON…OSWEGO…JOLIET.

I want to see these double hibiscus flowers again in my yard. But then again, the Easter bunny won’t stick out like a sore thumb in the white snow for the familiarly seen red fox or gray coyote if we get buried again.
