Snow and spring

It`s snowing. And it`s springtime.
You might think that`s two big contradictions.
But the people who has lived here all their life say that this kind of snow has the ability to remove the old snow from the ground.

For a long time I thought they said so only to comfort a southerner like me. But it seems to be true.
So now I get a feeling of spring in my body everytime I see this kind of snow coming.
