When Peter posted how snow fell on PEI well after he brought out his bicycle for the spring, I mentioned the Dutch proverb ‘March wags its tail’ meaning that the end of March can bring much colder days again after higher temperatures. ‘April does what it wants’ is another one.

When earlier this week warnings appeared that there might be snow by Thursday or Friday I did not heed my words to Peter, and shoved it aside as an April fools joke.

Then yesterday and this morning: The first snow this winter.
