Waters of March

It rained in Astana late last week for the first time this year, but today, March 27, there is a new layer of snow as the long continental winter reasserts itself.  The clouds thickened yesterday morning.  The snow began falling heavily by noon and so continued into the night.  Such is spring on the frozen steppe nearly a week after the Vernal Equinox.  What else should one expect when one is living at the same latitude as the northern tip of Newfoundland?

My reflections on the coming of spring in Kazakhstan are in my follow-on web journal, Alice in State, at http://attitude-maneuver.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-waters-of-march.html .
