Re: Drat that rat, anyway! or Let's kill Phil!

Oh, Maria--I feel for you, I really do...I'll quit my whining now.  But I'll bet four feet of snow makes lovely snow angels.  :-)

I'd take six more weeks of winter in a heartbeat! Here, there was snow on
Mother's Day within recent memory. And this is the hardest winter I've ever
seen here. Melody, how I envy you your mild winter. I've had more than four
feet of snow so far, and there are 4-foot snowbanks all around my house. Oh,
hurry Spring!
