Crazy swings

Standing on the practice green of my local golf course it seemed like a pretty nice Sunday afternoon.  Temperature in the upper 40s and some blues sky showing amid the clouds.  I started to chip and putt, and then it started to hail.  Pebble size stones were bouncing off the green.  Welcome to spring in the North Country.  The grass has not even shown a hint of growth yet and soil temps are not encouraging germination.  This week and the long range promise a little better scenario, but only marginally better than last week.  It's looking like a long slow slog to summer.
