I know the groundhog saw his shadow and predicted another 6 weeks of winter, but this is getting ridiculous. Though we haven’t had nearly as much snow as many of my friends in the North East, we’ve had about 4x the average amount in any given year and frankly, we’re tired of it. I can only imagine what you guys along the Atlantic coast, New England, and North Eastern US are going through. These global warming snowstorms are wearing me out.
Hopefully you still have electrical power … or some battery life.

Thanks for the link Ron.
I don’t think we’ve had 12 inches of snow in Toronto this entire winter – quite unusual. It’s been cold though so it kind of sucks that there isn’t much snow.
Oh well, I don’t envy the Wash DC people…
oh, i never saw real snow except in movies
that would be one good experience
