Friday was supposed to be a rainy day with highs in the 40s. Well, I suppose the highs were in the 40s, but it all went downhill from there. The boys were home from school and we'd assumed the rain wouldn't happen (it hasn't lately) and that we could simply bundle up and get some farm work done. Well, that plan fell through when it started snowing.
The temperatures dipped below freezing and it just kept snowing and snowing. My tomato plants had been looking their very best a day earlier - chalk full of green tomatoes (finally!). But, even before the cold and snow, I knew they were doomed - too little sun, too cool to ripen.
The snow eventually covered the ground and lasted until the next morning.
It made for a very, very long day which oddly felt like a snow day in the middle of February. I felt like we were in a 24 hour time warp.
