It was April vacation week after all and we had beach cleanup to do for the upcoming season. The temperature reached 80 degrees that day, can you believe it, in April! This all comes after a record breaking 118 inches of snowfall from December through March. My neighbors reported there was a storm almost every Wednesday and Sunday like clock work. If you were up there you were lucky enough to witness the 8 foot plus snowbanks on either side of my driveway. The only question left now is what will summer bring? Let's hope for clear skies and comfortable breezes.
