Easter in Ada 2018 when carolers were singing the Bing Crosby hit, “I’m Dreaming of a White Easter.” The ground, and in this case windshield, were covered with snow before the day ended. By strange coincidence, Easter and April Fools Day fell on the same day, but the fluffy white stuff was no joke. It should be reported, however, that the weather was dry for church-goers for the Sunday morning services, including the Easter sunrise services, breakfasts, Sunday Schools, and worship services.
