We've had a really easy winter so far, with temps more like spring than winter, but I think that's changing... temps in the teens and it's snowing now...

Everybody, be safe, it'll be over soon...

ps... has anyone noticed that the days are really getting longer?? I looked out yesterday afternoon and it was 5:15 and still very much light... not too long ago it was very dark by 5 p.m.!

ok ok I know I'm reaching here... but a little hope!

Oh, you RICHMOND people. I have a friend who moved there in September. Every day for the past week she has called and given me the temperature. On Monday while it was -5 windchill here, she had to tell me when the 66.8 temp changed by a tenth of a degree while we were catching up. Tuesday she indicated that it was a cold snap in the 40s. I told her what she could do with her cold snap. I'm not sure I would know how to handle it if the temp got above freezing...
