By: Drew Bollea  Lately, lows have been below freezing and snow showers throughout the day. It sounds more like a forecast for January, not the spring.On a typical spring day, Pumpkin Patch Park on Signal Mountain would be full with parents and children enjoying the nice warm weather, but with this recent winter blast only a few brave the cold. Its the first thing he wanted to do was come here, said Dave Smotherman. He and his 3 year old grandson were the only people at the park. Chance De Sha was making snowballs and and running with his grandfather through the park. It's his favorite place, said Smotherman, and we come up here just about every day no matter what the weather is. But not everyone is taking to kindly to the sub freezing temperatures and icy roads.It's always like Chattanooga to trick you and be warm one week and then snow, said Kyle Hollowell, a local grocery store employee. I look for the warm weather and the fact that it's snowing right now is kind of down and depressing for me, said Lake Bandy, a student at McCallie School.He is on spring break. I'm trying to go to friends houses, but we can't really do much because its freezing outside, said Bandy.He's dreaming of  the indigo waters and warm sandy beaches of Florida -  where many of his friends are.I'm really jealous of what they're doing right now because they get to go out in bathing suits and everything and just walk around in the warm weather, said Bandy, and I'm up here bundled up in a sweatshirt and everything.There are some warmer temperatures expected towards the end of the week, which could be welcomed news to some, but maybe not chance.Or maybe it's because he's just too young to know any different.It's winter because it's snowing today, said Chance playing in the snow.
