Wow! After living here for seven winters, this one just seems to stretch on and on and on! We’ve had snow on the ground constantly since mid-December, if I’m remembering right; that’s almost a month-and-a-half of snow on the ground. In past winters, the snow has always melted within two days after a storm, except for one week in January or February when we’d hit our really low temperatures. But this winter is starting to rival the memories of my wife’s childhood (you know, when they walked to school uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow?). OK, OK, not that bad, but people do say they remember a lot more snow when they were growing up, and my wife is one of them.
