It is f-in' snowing in Brooklyn right now, on April 8th

I was just at a coffee shop and it sort of looked like it was snowing outside. I though, "No, this is April. Those must be little white flowers falling."

Then, the lady next to me asked the waitress if it was snowing. The waitress said that it was just little white buds from that tree, and she pointed. The lady looked very relieved.

But, guess what! I just got home and those white things that I can see falling outside my window that overlooks an alley are definitly snowflakes. Nothing is sticking but there are no trees with white buds around.

The snow just lasted a few minutes. But, really, what is that all about! It is April, people.

I was walking home from the food co-op when it started falling on me. Each person on the street looked up and cursed with annoyance. "What the fuck," indeed.
