The mud isn't quite frozen yet here. About 34%. Got .68" of rain overnight. Getting about 1" to 2" snowballs falling from the sky right now. That seems to be alternating with 'regular' snowflakes the past hour.

The moisture was really needed and appreciated. Just hope and pray it doesn't turn into a calf killer storm! Grass has started pretty well, but needs more warmth nearly as much as the moisture. Very cool spring, so far.

Plums have bloomed, so probably going to get a killing frost before this storm ends. Wild plums rate right up with Bing cherries as his favorite fresh fruit for my 89 year old uncle, and I have a great plum thicket by my house, so he gets a good share of them. Last year, we had enough, and they were big enough, maybe almost two inches across, that I seeded and split them in half and froze them. Need to get some pies made one of these days!
