RE: Weather


The warm weather extends here to Ottawa too.  Our snow cover has been
reduced to about one foot with a hard layer of ice on top.  We've just
survived two days of freezing rain and power outages throughout the city
as the ice has been downing power lines and shorting transformers.
Schools have been closed both days.  We are praying for it to get colder
so that the snow cover will stay on our irises and newly planted Austin
roses.
