Snow in Spring

The shops have huge banners outside that say 'Mid-season Sale'. Going by the seasons, snow falls during winter. March was the season of hope as the days grew warmer and longer - more daylight during the day. Over the last few years, we've seen snow in March. And so, end of March was the end of snow. Little did we know that the British weather would be so unpredictable in April too. There was a little bit of snow in the first week of April. But the first thing that greeted me last Wednesday morning was the white layers on every roof top. We live atop a hill and the view outside extends to all the homes in the slopes below us. I came down to find the garden covered in a white layer of snow. Although we've got used to the snowfall now, I still feel excited to see snow in my garden. It was terrbily cold that morning, but the snow melted by midday and things seemed normal when we returned home that evening.
