April Showers Bring May Flowers

[IronWolf]

While contemplating our current raininess, it dawned on me that other parts of the U.S. can have drastically different climates. For instance, take Arizona's dryness and Washington's (state) wetness. Is April particularly wet (or less dry) for them? Is May particularly known for blooming flowers? Would natives of those areas have heard the saying?

Arizona gets some of their moisture in the monsoon season in the July/August timeframe.

So do April showers include snow showers? We've had some lovely moderate weather this month, the trees are budding, my tulips and crocuses are coming up. Then it snowed yesterday, and more last night, just in time for Easter. Meh. Colorado spring is very random.

I had relatives in Wisconsin posting pictures of cross-country skiing within the past week....

We've had 11 inches of rain in Southern Illinois in the last 5 days if that's any indication. Since May isn't here yet, I don't know if the flowers will bloom or if they might have drowned...

BTW, anyone know where I can rent an ark?
