We've only had snow in the mountains, nowhere near the coast. Ugh, so cold over there.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick had also asked residents in that state to observe a moment of silence at 2:50 p.m.; the U.S. Senate conducted a similar tribute.

And more again today. Fitting, somehow, for the mood. April sucks.

It's not May yet and some places still get snow through the month of June. Depends on elevation. A lot of people still burning wood in the neighborhood here. Stay warm tonight:
