Hi there, puppypusher....I am so ready for winter to be over. It is supposed to stay above freezing during the day til at least Monday, but it is still freezing at night.

WOW!! 3 feet all at once is a lot of snow. Spring is trying to come. I’m working on making the driveway ice free, for the second time this winter. Chip! Chip! Chip!
