The weather here in St. Louis has been quite unusual this season. Â It has only snowed once and that was several months ago. Â No snow so far for 2012. Â Usually it’s bitter cold here with the dreaded windchill factor. Â But last week? Â We had temps in the middle to upper 60’s! Â That’s highly unusual for these parts. Â Winter is actually my favorite season, so really I’ve missed getting to dress for the elements this year. Â There is still hope, though. Â The weather man is predicting some colder weather and I’m ready for it. Â Plus, in years past we have gotten snow late into the season. Â Here are some images of my city the end of March 2011:
Who would have thunk snow that late in March??? Â Well, I sure hope those scenes are in my future, because these gorgeous knit hats from Ella Lane are en route to my house right this very second!
