Ah now Rick, they USUALLY aren't that bad! They seperate our boating seasons and let us get things done around the house without always thinking "I should go down to the boat..." :)

This one however can not end soon enough for me! I can't remember the last time I had snow in my yard for such a long, non-stop period. Bah humbug!

Normally I'd add the great VT ski trips but with the time and expenditure$ for the new boat I haven't gone once. There's always next year for that I guess.

I'm not sure I've ever been much happier to see rain as I was this morning! And while it's cold here it is NOT freezing! Booyah!

And yes, just 22 days of winter left!

We had lots of ice. I'd take the snow over the ice anytime! We can now see our lawn!!!
