Last Blast of Winter

As usual we had a spurt of nice weather in late March, then we get a last blast of winter weather in Aptil before it warms up for good. We got about 5-6 inches of wet, heavy snow, plus a driving wind to go along with it. We had our winter gear all packed up to store away for the season, but Val and I couldn't resist going out one last time in the boots and hats. We stomped around the UW Arboretum Wednesday evening and saw some amazing sights. The wind blew the snow sideways in the trees, making stick in places that seemed to defy gravity. It was really cool! Enjoy the photos, and let's hope the snow is melting for good this time! I want some warm weather!
