Seasonal dissonance

Published Thursday, April 2, 2009

The calendar may say it's April and the height of sun declares it to be spring, but it's still winter in Fairbanks. It was 5 below at my house this morning and the snow is still thigh-deep in the back yard. I just wish local retailers would keep that in mind when they swap out their merchandise.

My child has worn a hole in her mittens, so I stopped at the store to get a new pair. Lots of bright spring clothing and rainboots on display, but not a mitten in sight. It's frustrating.
