Snow in March, like today's storm after two glorious days of springlike weather, brings to mind stories from childhood, when my grandfather reminisced about the Blizzard of 1888. A snowy day like today also is a good one to contemplate quilting projects or work on some already underway.
Also, for some reading about the catastrophic Blizzards of 1888, first in the West and then on the east coast:
