No Spring This Year?

Well, we got dumped on with snow again.  Yesterday we had a huge blizzard which dumped about a foot of snow on us.  It is still snowing out there now!     The high winds have drifted the snow into deep drifts again, and we are snowed in.   A few days ago we were looking at grass for the first time in months, and a somewhat dry driveway.    But now we have another foot of snow to melt into mud again.   This is just too depressing for words!  Up here in the north country we are beginning to think that we live in a sort of "twilight zone" of never-ending winter!  By mid April the farmers are usually in the fields working things up.  But this year the fields were flooded before this snow, so this will only add to the flooding.   Many areas of Fargo and surrounding towns are flooded in places.   We sure need some sunshine and warm weather!!  Will we ever see spring?
The driveway is drifted in again.  I guess we will have to get the snow shovel out one more time.
The cats are snowed in again, too.  It is difficult to feed them, as there is just no place to put their food dishes.  Even when I shovel out a place, the winds and blowing snow fling their food dishes all over the yard. The inside of their shelter is also filled with snow.
