My goodness! You peole south of here have it rough. I've been hearing the reports on the radio and my hat's off to you. Here in Maine we can deal with lots of snow though we haven't had to in several years. This year is an old fashioned Maine winter with plenty of snow to go around and temperatures hovering around zero (F). I talked to my mother on Saturday night and she reported -27 F in Houlton, Maine. That just reinforced my idea that I moved to southern Maine for the warmer weather. At my house it was up to -5 F.

We are supposed to get some snow out of this storm though the predictions are all over the board. I've heard 4 - 6 inches but someone just told me we should get 6 - 12 inches. We'll see.

They've also predicted temperatures in the 40s this week! I am really looking forward to warmer weather. I'm supposed to fly out to southern California for next weekend and the long range prediction is for a "wintery mix" on that weekend. Wish me luck. I hate to fly.
