In Like a Lion

This is the current view out my living room window. I've noticed through my life that the old adage "in like a lion, out like a lamb" holds true for the month of March.

In NM, March was full of high winds. Dust devils and massive clouds of dirt flying overhead were commonplace. In fact, my elementary school had a rather sparse gravel playground (which allowed our imaginations to fuel our games). Normally in March, we played some sort of "parajumper" where we flared our windbreakers out like wings and allowed the wind to carry us and slam us into the chain link fence. It's really strange to type that now, but I promise... it was fun.

Now, the first decent snow in Richmond is just beginning to fall. We should get somewhere between 2 and 10 inches, depending on which radio or TV station you're paying attention to. It's long overdue. Welcome to town, March.
