Spring Snow

I know this is my second year in Astana, but I have spent most of my life in the American South, and yesterday was such a warm, pretty, sunny day (above freezing!), so I was quite surprised when I woke up today and looked out the window and saw snow.

Snow!

Yes, indeed, snow on the 2nd of April. Lots of beautiful, white snow flurries. Hurriedly rushing to the streets where they will gather and stay for a few moments or hours before they melt, refreeze, and melt again, ensuring that our streets and sidewalks stay slushy and slippery and brown-ish-gray.

It will be a while before spring as I see it in my mind (flowers!) appears.
