APRIL FOOL’S CAME a little late this year with Friday’s nor’easter, which created havoc with the daffodil crowd and caused a temporary chill in everyone’s spring gardening, replacing our rakes and hoes with shovels we thought were safe to put away.
Although a bit of a nuisance, it’s not that unusual to get snow in April around here, according to local weather observer Ed Bergeron, who gave Friday’s weather a lowly rating of 10 cents out of a possible 50 cents on WMWV 93.5-FM’s “Morning Weather Show.”
