My mother's people were farmers. When I was growing up, my family had a garden. People who plant things are much more observant of the weather. One of the things I remember from those years was looking for the Easter Cold Snap. Around this time of year, in late February and early March, it gets spring like in central Alabama, but winter always seems to manage to get one more shot. Since Easter usually falls somewhere in this time frame, that last shot of winter is referred to as the Easter cold snap.
This morning when I got up to let the dogs out, I noticed that my front yard and cars were covered with a light frost. Seems like that last night we had our Easter cold snap.
