Have fun shopping the new area. It's really melting around here. We have had 2 days above freezing now. one of the top 5 winters in snowfall totals since they have been keeping records here. It was below freezing for a month and a half solid before this, except for 2 hours, and it must have been somewhere else. Blizzard coming on Thursday after 50 and thunderstorms. Really strange.
