Ease up Mom!

Mother Nature continues delivering a taste of winter even though Spring is just around the corner. Another snowfall blankets Crittenden County tonight. The wintry white stuff started falling just before dark and now, at 7:30 p.m., is accumulating on the ground, contrary to predictions by our local TV weather forecasters.

Over the past year, Mother Nature has handed us a hard, late spring freeze, record heat, a bitter drought, the worst ice storm in decades and now she's topping us off with a March snowfall.

Come on Mom! We're ready for spring. The tulips are already poking up in the flower bed out front of The Press office and this morning I saw some green daffodil shoots shivering in the 20 mph, 32-degree winds. 

Come on Spring!
