Winter wonderland in Spring??

So we were a little caught off guard when at dinner last night...March 30th...we heard very loud thunder outside. Opened the curtains to dark sky, thunder, and then a little hail...followed by a down pour of the most amazing snowy hail Ive ever seen. It looked like Dipin Dots on steriods. Fluffy but at the same time big and very painful coming down on our heads! Our neighborhood went from a sunny spring day to a white wonderland in a matter of 10 minutes flat! We tried to run in it as it was coming down, but as I said before, it HURT. Every neighbor was on their porches taking pictures like we were. As soon as the down pour stopped, every child in the neighborhood came out with sleds and the scene was something straight out of a december catalog. We tried to build a snowman, but the steroid dipin dots didnt pack well enough in any bigger form than a snowball...so we resourted to a snowball fight instead. Zach wasnt interested and just played with a shovel and bucked in it, but Eli was whooping up on mommy pretty good. Smacking me left and right with snowballs and taking off in a sprint. I was wearing my flip flops...and to my defense it WAS sunny out before this happened....and slid in our front lawn and almost broke my leg trying to out run our 4 year old! It was a crazy turn of an evening, and I think we were all a little confussed. Especially our neighbor who drove in right after the down pour and said it wasnt like that anywhere else but just around us. Odd. But it was a very welcomed "odd" weather change. Its now melting, but there are still piles here and there. I wonder what kind of weather we will get this summer???
