I just cleared over a foot of global warming off walk and driveway

At least snow is keeping squirrels out of bird feeder as it is too deep
for them.


All that makes me glad I live where I live. Temperatures are expected
to be in the 70s today. Among other flowers, three of the seven roses
in my back yard are in bloom. Oranges and lemons on my dwarf trees are
ready for picking.

I was 34 years old before I saw my first snowflake fall out of the sky.
That was during a business trip to Philadelphia 33 years ago. I've
seen it, and I don't need to see it again.
