Is it spring yet?

As I mentioned in my Saturday post, we found some small patches of snow when out hiking over the weekend.

Last night, some pretty strong storms rolled through the area and the temperatures started dropping.  At about 9 pm, the temperature was 38 degrees and the wind was a steady 30 mph – chilly weather.

This morning, I get up at the crack of dawn (the dogs got up, went out, and went back to bed – the disloyal rascals) and threw some things in the car.  Ow – that stung.  What is that?  Oh, sleet!  Sleet?  It’s May 12!

Can someone please tell me when spring arrives?
