Stop whining and post a picture of winter at your place. Sheesh.
High of 16 today, low of zero, nil, none degrees tonight, colder tomorrow. A few more days of this and we'll be skating on the pond.

9. Why, thank you.

5. Been very windy there today.
Now I'm home in the boons and still very windy and cold. It was nice to have the sun today, tho. At least that took some of the sting outta those bitter NW winds. Brrrrr!

38. only one inch now but 2 weeks ago we had
almost 2 feet, the most snow I ever saw I think! The steps were totally covered but I went out to look under the deck for a cat before I took the picture.
What we have now is not picture-worthy.
