Ah, Eric - you lucky guy living in a tropical climate! It was 26º here this morning. If we are lucky it will get up to 40º. Snow in front of my house (south side) is only 18-25" deep. You don't want to know about the north side. Yes, it is melting, but a couple of inches of new snow also seems to fall every other day. Sooooo, the 1.8 miles of gravel road to my house is quite soupy. That's the bad news. The good news is that there is no dust from the road. Our snowfall this winter is just slightly less than normal - - only 300" so far. Oh, and BTW, my air conditioning works great - I just roll down the window!!!! Happy Motoring. Dick Ryan PS Hurry up with the DeLorean Beer Steins. I can fill one up with Guinness and sit in my car in the garage and crank up the stereo and dream of spring - - June?? --- erikgeerdink <erikgeerdink@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Ahhhh the joys of spring.
