Will you get the snow? Or the rain? And which will make you happier. I like snow, but 20 centimeters is too much for April. That's almost 8 inches!

It is pouring rain right now.
Hopefully it stays that way.

We were supposed to have what the weathermen thought was the storn of the century....we got....somewind , rain, and 3-4 Hails....for about 15 minutes.

Snow would suck, hope it stays liquid!
