The calendar says it’s spring, but the view out the window certainly doesn’t. St. Louis was hit with a record-making snow storm yesterday. The official amount, measured at the airport, was 12.4 inches. It measured at least that much in my neighborhood. The previous record for snowfall in one day was set exactly 101 years ago, on March 24, 1912, according to this article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. (A year ago today, it was 76 degrees.)
I’m trying to get work done today, despite the fact it feels like a snow day. I am so grateful that I didn’t have to drive anywhere today.
In any case, it’s very beautiful out there. Here are some photos for the sake of posterity.

Kirby's not exactly as white as the driven snow.

Pretty as it is, I hope it melts soon!
