Happy 1 April.

As the world has quite enough WTF already, I will - as usual - not be indulging in any foolery today (probably). Step carefully on the Internet today, kids.

And I would like to thank Mother Nature, who seems to have given us an unremarkable rain, instead of the predicted snow this morning (at least in NYC. Across The River may report otherwise). EtA: bah. It is doing a weird white-rain thing. But it does not stick and will stop soon, I am promised. I refuse to look at it.

Meanwhile, as it's Friday, there is a new Practical Meerkat on the loose...

I have pinky-white stuff blowing in through my windows -- cherry blossoms. Come and live in the UK, we are (usually) well over snow long before April. We even had an earthquake this morning for your OH to study.

We got snow in the Philly 'burbs. It's not sticking, but it's definitely snowing. The weather gods' little April Fool's prank.

An earthquake, seriously? I think I'd prefer our occasional late snow... (esp since it was rain by lunchtime)

It was only a very little one -- 2.6 on the Richter scale.

To the white rain (and, why is it not purple? ;-p): LALALALALALALA I CAN'T SEE YOU! Then again, I am in the UK and it is sunny! A sign of the apocalypse!

Wow! Did we? I am in Sussex and did not notice anything. Then again, I do not read or watch the news, so… ;-p

So we (or Blackpool, anyway) did! (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-12930915)

It was centred on Blackpool, so didn't reach us, but the BBC mentioned it.
