Snow in April?


The word is that many of you got a little snow and or very chilly temps there in the US over the Easter weekend. Wow, what weird weather! Here on Guam the forecast reads the same every single day of the year. "Times of sun, times of rain. avg. temp 86 degrees." Some days they predict more rain than others but the temp rarely ever drops below 80 and is almost always somewhere in the low 90's. Our family has acclimated to the heat so well that it has to be REALLY hot for us to even notice it anymore. On the other hand we get the chills when we go into a restaurant or building where the aircon is turned down low. We do not even own winter clothing anymore! I have a feeling we are going to be in shock around October or so in Virginia. It will be our first fall and winter in over three years. As soon as we return we will be hitting the sales racks in search of fall/winter wear for the 6 of us. Me thinks the budget is going to take a big hit! I suppose this is the price one pays for the luxury of three years of summer on a tropical island. You all try to stay warm over there, hopefully a full fledged Spring will be upon you soon and a warm, sunny Summer will follow.

Boy, I'd trade places with you any day. Last night was supposed to be the coldest in this snap. It's supposed to start warming a little each day now. This sudden swinging in the weather is giving everyone here colds. We've already been in the 80's and now back down to the 20's. B-r-r-r-r!!! Love, Aunt Jen

It was so cold here on Easter. Thank goodness I choose a light weight sweater set and skirt. Now it is in the high 80's and it is suppose to turn cold with high winds and thunderstorms starting tomorrow. 4/14/07. Wished you were here.
Love Mom and Mimi
