We got about 4 to 5 inches--what a waste of
perfectly good snow!

barely enough snow here in greensboro to cover the ground. but
freezing drizzle has made any kind of travel hazardous--especially
walking.

i just sort of shut my eyes tight during jan. and feb., and dream up an
early april.



A friend once likened it to diving waaaaay down in a pond, and then swimming
up up up for air. About now, you're just making the corner at the bottom.

The best part of winter in Maine didn't happen until you resolved yourself
to it. I always hated the _change_ of seasons....the brutal mud season
between winter and spring, the cold abandonment of limbo season between fall
and winter. But once winter was there, full on, with snowbanks, frozen
streams and ponds, cross-country skis, snowmobiles, bonfires, sanded
sidewalks, boots mittens and wool caps, it was a total blast. I think living
where winter never really gets a toehold; where a few weeks of uncomfortable
denial might get you through it, is like going from the limbo season to the
mud season, without the perks.

Stay warm, April is coming.
