Happy Valentines Day!
Well, our city is catching up on our winter, had a really cold spell, and several snows, fluffy, heavy and medium. But also some sunnier warmer 30 to 40 weather. They had a Winter Festival going which started out with some 30 ish weather which was perfect for Kiting on the Lake and ice skating in many spots, then it warmed up a bit much--slushy. But some young folks were wearing shorts or no coats (really not that warm) and some students made a "hot tub" on Lake Mendota watched over by the traditional Lady Liberty who occasionally visits .
Lynne--Sorry to hear about your hen and chicks .Jan and Gail, you really got hit worse than we did. Though we did get thick ice too for about a week, the city plows did a better job than usual on our street but of course we got mini-icebergs in driveway --DH about did himself in clearing it. We saw/ heard multiple cars spinning their wheels trying to pull away from the kerbs, which had frozen snow lumps with slick ice underneath.
Yes, Florida People , glad you have it nicer in the winter--my cousins visited and really enjoyed it! But when the hurricanes come, we're glad we're far away.
I do like hearing about your Spring so far ahead of ours.
Sandhill Cranes have been seen and heard flying over not far from us, it is really too early for them, hope they do OK.
