Re: weather rant was: just checking

Thanks, Pam...delighted to find this out - don't have cable and our
weatherpersons just parrot Accuweather, so you never find out
anything of real interest.

You are right...the results have certainly NOT been pretty.  Worst
winter in 30 years, I hear, and I believe it.  Your rain seems to
solidify when it hits here:-)

Was out today as it got about 50F (a heat wave) trying to get at my
pruning, but there's still so much snow on the ground it wasn't easy.
 I can now testify that a loaded garden cart does not like to go on
snow:-)  If this keeps up, I'll have to invest in a sled for hauling
prunings...
