Wait a while. The weather will change.
That's the advice you'll get from thousands of New Englanders, especially from those of us who live in northern portion of the region.
To wit, Town Meeting Day in Vermont 2007 was among the coldest on record. Ever.
A week later, during many of New Hampshire's town meetings, the temperature easily crawled above 50 F for most communities. 
And now this. For the past two weeks, temps have been above freezing. Way above freezing. And there's been rain, too. So all of the snow we got since mid-February was gone, right?
Right. Two nights ago, I was throwing the ball for my dog, Bear, in a backyard that was 90% clear of snow.
Tonight, something totally different has arrived.
There's snow everywhere. And me and the kids are scrambling to find our winter coats.
This is normal. To be expected. In just six short years of living in northern New England, I have yet to see an April without snow. And not just snow showers, but a substantive, fall-on-the-ground & get-your-warm-coat snowfall.
It will end soon enough. But on this night, in the cold and quiet of a late season snowfall, I am reminded about why we live here.
