I woke up at 4, but thought it was DH leaving for work and was late and
slammed the door... guessing not.  Didn't notice anything wrong, but will take
a better look around when I get home.
 
Drifting snow was the big headache for me this morning.  Opened the garage
door and the drift was over the hood of my car... so I had to shovel before
leaving.  Sigh.

Donna, Were you aware of the earthquake early this morning? Downstate we 
didn't know a thing about it but I was awakened at the exact time it 
occurred...but didn't feel a thing. Kathy

ha!  We are expecting 6-12 inches of snow starting tomorrow  night...
spring is
NO where in sight here.....

I hope everyone in  the snow belt this weekend is OK.... 26-30 inches of
snow
is just unreal.  (at least for that area of the country)

Jim, three weeks ago the quince beside my kitchen window was  showing
color in its buds, and I discovered daffs and hellebores up a  couple of
inches
under the mulch.  Since then we have had two bouts  of extremely cold
weather - single digits at night and low 20s in the  day.  Today is very
bright
but with a high of 22 degrees.  I'm  afraid those early harbingers have been
lost, or at least haven't  progressed any.  What I have noticed in the last
few days, however, is  that the male goldfinches are beginning to look
yellow around the neck, and  a couple have a few bright feathers on their
shoulders.  That has  always been a positive sign of spring to me.
And the days are definitely  getting longer.  That's the best sign.

It may be a harbinger: Flower buds on the apricot tree are  beginning
to break; flower buds on the cherry trees are swelling up.  Weather's
still crappy, though; overcast, drizzly, persistently  chilly.
