Here in Barrie On the temp was above freezing for the first time in months yesterday! Kids were running through knee-deep snow in their shorts, people outside in T-shirts celebrating. The streets look like rivers with the spring melt, my driveway is a treacherous mess of melting ice and mud right now but WHO CARES!! Bring it on ... spring is finally just around the corner!

I'm actually grateful for the heavy snowfall we got this winter - the water tables might rise to normal levels again. Water levels in the Great Lakes have been mysteriously dropping at quite an alarming rate over the last couple years. On the Trent-Severn waterway, some people's boats were sitting about 8 feet below the docks last year. Where has all the water gone?!? Some suspect the Great Lakes are being drained, the water sold to the US behind the backs of the Canadian public ... another conspiracy theory?
