Good evening, puppypusher...it’s getting cold, but no snow yet. How are you doing?

Kathy!its the same here in Connecticut.Temperature dropped into the mid 30’s last night.One good thing about that is it killed off the Mosquitoes.

No Snow yet though.I'll be happy if I don't see any until February 28th.

Not much chance of that happening though.(LOL)

Friday off. We are about to have a winter cold front come through. It won't be as cold as you are, however.

Didn’t watch the game. :(((

[Tanniker Smith]

I had about 20 last night (one being a two-fer).

I had 3 this afternoon in the first ten minutes and last 5 minutes of the 2 1/2 hour window they had.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Are you satisfied with 20? I’m sure not nearly enough, but ok considering? Man, last 5 minutes doesn’t leave much time for anything.
