Well LiK's little cavort apparently pleased the Goddess. Or maybe it's because Lin decided to cook last night and She thought it was a burnt offering...

The snow that was forcast pretty much bypassed us, although they got the expected foot 50 miles north of us. The main Interstate highway (I-70) east/west across the northern part of the state has been pretty much shut down, but no reports of accidents of strandings.

We got enough cold drizzle to help with the fire hazard, but it's not certain whether it was enough to allow the farm folk to do their spring controlled burns of pasture.

The local prediction for tonight is for 20 F ( -7 C) lows, which will kill all the blossoms that were begining to bust out from the preceding warm spell, and will probably make any fruit crops in the area nonexistent for the year. If it gets as low as predicted there won't be many "spring flowers" later this year, although our daffys already had just about finished their show anyway.

The sure sign of spring is that our main heating unit decided to cease working sometime last night. A week or two later and I could have played around at fixing it all summer; but fortunately it was a small part and it's back in order for the last week or so of cold weather. (Unless it snows again in April - or May.)
