This will not come as a big surprise to most of the readers of my blog - it is a snowy winter. We have had more snow in February than normal. And it just isn't melting. Well, that is not true. In the back yard, facing south, it melts just fine with the sun exposure. But our house is facing north and it just isn't going away. It has not only been snowier than normal, it has been colder. All of this adds up to a weekly wonderland. The stuff that starts looking dirty, gets covered on a very regular basis, and things just look winter pretty again.
The roads are not too bad. For us, the sun comes out and melts them off, even when it doesn't get above freezing. We have learned over 20 winters that we need to keep our gutters clear so they don't turn into solid blocks of ice. It is easy to dress for this kind of weather, so this is not a complaint. However, I do hear more and more in the stores and on the streets - "I am so done with all of this." I say, relax, by June it will all be gone - then we can start worrying about the Summer heat.
