Our forecast says rain and snow on Saturday, 1 to 3 inches. I always cut
their estimate in half, and their snow predictions are usually wishful
thinking, but it could happen. I planned on starting tomatoes and
peppers in the greenhouse anyway, and maybe Sunday will be decent enough
for me to pull more grass out of the dry garden.

We had an ice & snow storm go through yesterday, 4 inches on the ground
this 
morning. Just a skiff left on the ground tonight, but will freeze again 
tonight. This is our usual bounce in and out of spring & winter.
Hellebores 
are in bloom.
