First Day of Spring Still Brings Snow in IL

After a few days of decent temps and sunny skies in this part of Illinois, low and behold the flurries/snow that was to usher itself in on the first day of spring - Saturday, March 20, 2010. Minor accumulations took place in certain parts of the areas adjacent to Chicago. At first, I thought it was to be a bit warmer in the morning - but the snow itself surprised me while heading out the door. So I grabbed my hoodie and proceeded forth with my grocery activities. Looks like spring has came in right on the ticker, but winter still wants to make itself known. Hopefully it is the last day of snow as it bids adieu until late in the year (when it gets cold again).
