More Snow!

We got a bit more snow last night to add to the total---second/third highest ever!
It snowed last weekend also.

I got tired of the snow long ago. This year has been the worst I've seen. Even the old-timers were forced to admit that this year was bad as the weather service reported the news.

The good news is that any additional snow that falls should melt in a day or so, since it should start getting warmer---almost up to 50 the other day! Of course, we should see a fair amount of rain for the next two months or so if this is like past years.

This kind of weather may become more frequent, given that the BBC reports: Global temperatures 'to decrease'. Just a few months ago, the BBC was on the Global Warming bandwagon. Guess they've looked at things and have decided it's not the way Al Gore says....
