April in Paris?? Nah...

OK... it's 2 p.m. on Wednesday, April 26 here in Letohrad and I just checked the temperature.  It is now 39 degrees F with a wind chill of 35 degrees F.  First off, let me say the locals here are also not happy with this weather and several have said this is worse than they remember.  I did find something that captures the situation beautifully.

April weather in the Czech Republic is unpredictable and can change from sunny to snowy in a matter of minutes. It can also get windy and temperatures can vary quite a bit. Here is what the old Czech weather lore says about the month of April:
"April is half March and half May."
"In April, up to nine kinds of weather can meet in a day."
"April weather is more capricious than a woman".

Don't know about the last one... it's just a Czech legend you understand.

In the spirit of full disclosure, the forecast for later next week is for temps to 'soar' into the 50's F with a bit more sunshine than we have seen lately.
So we trudge on into Spring with hopeful hearts and warm coats.
