It started with a little breeze, then grew into a bigger wind. At first, the snowflakes were small. They just kept coming until we had a genuine blizzard in April. My little village of Sawyer was mentioned on the National Weather Channel because of our snowfall amount. I have long suspected that Sawyer sits on a bump on the earth. We got 17 inches one day then a day or so later got another 19 inches.

News From Indian Country
At long last spring is showing up around here. Us Nort’ Landers just experienced one of the longest, most miserable, record-shattering winter snowfalls ever. The snow is only now beginning to melt and there are birds chirping but no dandelions as yet. The weather was so wretched it caused widespread crankiness with an 80% chance of depression causing moody irritable people syndrome. Ennit?
