Tornadoes no doubt predate what we now refer to as Massachusetts on the North American continent, but the first "whirl-wind," as they were called back in the day, was recorded right here in Massachusetts.
Happy April. We all may be ready for Spring, but Old Man Winter may not be done with us quite yet. We DO get some snow in April . Sometimes a LOT of snow.
March in Maine. I love that every one this past week was acting like winter was over. The above-average temperatures certainly helped. But PEOPLE! Do you FORGET? It's not Spring until maybe late May. At the EARLIEST. I swear, the summer is so perfect here in Maine that it somehow wipes out our memory (like that cool memory stick light thing from Men in Black), and we forget how horrible the weather can be this time of year.
It appears we've survived another winter. Now it's time to endure that soft, sinking transition from cold weather to warm weather with this funny song from Lovell's Flooded Cellar band.
