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.
