Normally on April 1, if my son had woken me up with "there is a raging blizzard outside!, " I would have laughed, knowing it to be an April Fool prank.

We have all emerged from our forced hibernation and Verona is getting ready to be a hub of activity. Already groups have met and started planning for festivals, concerts, derbies and jubilees.
