It is preparing for spring (which happens on March 20 ? right) here,
too. We got up to
42 F yesterday and should make it up to 43 F today as well. After a
slow start, we had
hardly any snow until after Christmas, we have (had) a good blanket but
it is surprising how
much melting got done yesterday.
