Can this be true, snow flurries in April? I haven't been here long enough to understand this weather but I know I want some warm weather. The Weather Service has issued a storm alert for "snow flurries" on the plateau. Please be very careful when driving and cover your plants and keep them warm. From what an old-timer has told me, you sprinkle "hay" over your vegetables to keep the frost from them. Is this true and has anyone heard of this before?

For those of you that haven't heard, we do have tornado watches out once again for tonight. If you have not worked out a plan in case we are hit by a tornado, it's almost too late at this point. If a tornado is imminent, please go to an inside area, like a bathroon, and get into the bathtub abd hunker down until the all-clear signal is given. Please don't take a chance with your life or your families life and try to out-run a tornado. PLEASE BE SAFE! Make your plans ahead of time and stick with it.
