I really don't mind the spring snows. They don't last long and we need the moisture. The only thing about them that drives me CRAZY is that we have beautiful daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips that bloom for a short time before they are CRUSHED by our heavy, wet, spring snows. They can survive the cold but not the weight of the snow. I brushed the snow away to see how my tulip was doing. Best on black.
