Is it spring yet?

The current conditions (at 11.00) on top of Mount Washington are:

Temperature -9.7°F
Wind 103.9 mph
Direction 293° (NW)
Gust 120.8 mph
Wind Chill -54.2°F

As for us, we got about 2.5 inches last night (surely more up in the hills). Even at 11.30 it's 18 out, gusting and lightly snowing. I took this photo at 7.00 this morning from the church steps looking north.

At noon a bunch of us will walk the stations of the cross through town. We do it every Good Friday, rain or shine, snow or not. We'll have to negotiate the spot where a water main broke last night in front of the Congregational Church -- have pity on the road crews that are digging up the road and fixing it.

Then back to keep walking the way of Good Friday. (I have already done two hours of watch, a service over at the assisted living place, and laid hands on someone whose congestive heart failure has really gone into overdrive and who is tired of suffering and wants to go quickly.)
