Winter returns


This morning, for the first time in over two months, I woke to see snow covering the trees and sidewalks below. It is depressing. The flowers are buried and clumps of snow cover the bunches of newly budding leaves on the maple outside my window.

It is still below freezing at midday and tonight it is expected to drop to -5C and then -7C Wednesday morning. So the year continues, like last winter and last summer, with colder than normal temperatures--much colder. The normal high for this time is +10 and the normal low +3. I'm going to sue Al Gore for false promises.
