snow in APRIL!!!

About a month ago we got a really strong cold front come in from Colorado & the resulting precip was SNOW!! The weather up here really does take some getting used to. Even still we have some days that it is a little too chilly to wear shorts or days that may require a light jacket. Is this what spring is supposed to be like?? Being from Texas (and MUCH further south) we don't typically have a spring season, maybe a week or two max. Don't get me wrong, I could really get used to this, no 90's yet. Anyways like I've said before, Eric loves the snow & will get out into it whenever he can. Being that this was probably the last time we were gonna see snow for a good long while, I let Eric loose outside & he enjoyed every minute of it!!
