    It's a balmy 14 degrees here now. One more degree, and I'm going to put on my bikini and go outside to work on my tan! :fingers crossed:

    In the meantime, here's a heartwarming little poem. Feel free to substitute your state's name.

    A Winter Poem
    It's winter here in Iowa
    And the gentle breezes blow
    Seventy miles an hour
    At thirty-five below.
    Oh, how I love Iowa
    When the snow's up to your butt
    You take a breath of winter
    And your nose gets frozen shut.
    Yes, the weather here is wonderful
    So I guess I'll hang around
    I could never ever leave Iowa
    'Cause I'm frozen to the ground.

    Ok it was 4 here on Monday or Tuesday and now it is going to be 60 on Saturday. WTF?

    At least I can wash my car outside this weekend and maybe the wife's SUV also.

    Wow...Just went out for the first time since Tuesday. It's COLD OUT!

    MINI didn't like it much either.

    Back to hibernation mode for me.

    It all depends on the size of the probe, the length of the probe, and where the measurement is taken; some readings elicit screams of joy, others screams of agony. What's disturbing is that it isn't always obvious which is which.

    Those snow roller jobs are so darned neat. Saw them Monday morning. I figured kids had made them, but no lil footprints were to be found. Mother Nature, man she sure is amazing.

    Warm enough today to wash Skooby. Drove through the touchless wash, what a transformation. From salt white to Hot chocolate.

    I'm betting all those people stuck on the freeway down in Atlanta, now that they got a taste of snow, are going to grab them up... I'm going to start boxing them so I can anticipate the eBay rush....

    A lovely 17 here in Colorado and a fresh, wet 5 inches of new snow with more coming, the Southern Mountains got a lovely 2 feet of new stuff.

    I bet half of Colorado went to the slopes today. :)
