That's a fact Pat, I wish we had about two feet of snowpack right
now...had to dig a couple holes last week to set telephone poles in
Romulus and the ground, while frozen, was dry as dust, very little
moisture content below about 4"....

Are you getting any of this today? We have seen a few flurries but no
accumulation. Also if you don;t have to drive to Livonia sounds like
that would be a good Idea, over 20 water main breaks there...

And that's where I commute to in the morning..

That's not particularly good news for our garden plants (which would
appreciate the insulation and wind barrier), or for our soil moisture.

SE Michigan is (still) officially in a drought.

Of course, I'd rather get 2 feet of snow in at least 4 discrete storms, rather
than all at once!

Oh, yeah, but I can only hope that even if we have a really dry summer the
powers that be will be sensible enough to remember this winter and allow us
to use city water on our gardens!

But isn't it great that the drought is over?

You've never laughed so hard until you've seen a collie reject the path
you've shoveled for him and go bounding through the snow--which is just
about above his head--like a porpoise. Or a beached whale. Take your
pick.


Hehe...yup.....my lab buries herself in the snow drift, then I see this
black head poke through. She loves it, and it gives me a great laugh. Well,
I laugh when it's not 11:00 at night and -41C and she feels like playing
instead of just doing her business. I'm pretty much yellin' at her then..

'Normal' people look at me funny when I say that, though.

Well, it looked like a little bit of snow stuck. Hardly anything, actually.

That's one lousy commute! (Even without the broken mains.)

when the little buggers want back in. with 5 dogs they all take different times and
some of em pretend deafness when called. Ingrid

Though i'm living in a area almost no snow falls and i'm definitely looking
for a spring to come to see many plants sprouting and blooming, but i don't
know why, i feel missing this chill wind blowing when i'm thinking it would
be gone shortly. i've never felt like this before. Guess it seems i have
been getting kinda old. Anyway, spring's just around the corner here.
hehehehe.
