If you don't like the weather in Iowa...

They say if you don't like the weather in Iowa, just wait 'cause it'll soon be different. Tru dat.

On Monday of this week, I drove by and saw some of my friends sitting on their front porch in shorts and t-shirts - probably sipping on some nice cold iced tea. The temperature was in the upper 70's. At the time I thought about stopping and taking a photo.

Now I really wish I would've taken that pic, because then I'd be able to contrast Monday's weather with what we woke up to on Friday morning. From upper 70's to lower 30's - and a nice layer of snow on the grass and trees. (The pavement is not yet cold enough for snow to stick). The snow was nice and wet - perfect for snowballs! The kids really had some fun before headnig off to school. But within hours, while it was still flurrying and even snowing heavier at times, it had all melted off of the ground. At least we're not in the Dakotas. 40 inches of snow, from what I hear!
