*********************** FLASH ********************

They just announced we've reached 84.4" of snow so far this Yr. This just moved us into the second most snow ever received!!

Gee.............. 4"  of the white stuff on the ground, and still snowing!!!

Looks like we may move from 4th place to 3rd place for the most snow in a winter (i.e. Chicago)

An intresting observation, the other day we had to travel into down town Chicago, and their snow is basically gone!!!!!! Yet you get 40 miles west, and there is still heavy snow on the ground, and huge piles up to 20 ft tall in open areas. I just wished there were more "Official" reporting stations, as the western areas and far north west have had a lot more snow than Chicago.

Now it's time for another cup of coffee, and round 2 with the snow blower!!

You don't need an island, Al; just come to Georgia.  We've had a week of terrific weather.  It's 75 now.  We finally got the plum trees sprayed Sat. - the day before they blossomed so it was close.  We couldn't reach to top third of the trees so have ordered a sprayer that will reach that far for the second spraying after petal fall and hope the insects don't do too much damage & that we don't kill any bees.  Got part of the garden in - peas, kale, chard, spinach - & it was a joy to be outdoors.  Our armadillo trap still is empty.  We see signs that they've been out but they've missed our trap even though we've moved it.  Isn't spring wonderful?  Keep the faith, you northerners.  Spring arrives a week from Thurs.!  (Which reminds me I'd better get busy with birthday presents for son & grandson on the 22!)  Stay warm & safe.

Hi Sailspinner............

LOL - I'd love 3 days without the White Stuff!!! Would love to see some rain, however the ground is frozen down 4 Ft. so any rain we have would just run off!!! So we would end up with flooding.... We just can't win!!

Cheers ! - AL

Expecting rain all day today, tonight, and tomorrow morning.  We don't have to shovel rain so I'm not complaining.  Surely this winter must be some sort of record cold and snow for the midwest. 

I need 24 hours without rain (and a day warm enough and without wind) so I can spray the plum trees & they are getting so far along it may be too late. Oh well.
