The Woes of Winter





All I want for Christmas is warmer weather!! It snowed Saturday night and Sunday and we had bitter cold. It hovered around 2 degrees here yesterday and dropped to -19 overnight. This morning the school buses and metro buses are all struggling with a starting problem. Barbara has been without power since 4 am on Friday morning and they have no water as their well is a dug well and requires electricity to run the water pump. Everything in the Northeast is covered with 3" icicles as the temperatures have been too low for melting. The U.P. of Michigan has been in an Arctic air mass with cold for over a week now.......and my son - in Houston,Texas - actually got snow for the 2nd time in 10 years. Can't we just bag up Mother Nature and all the weathermen and ship them to Mars??

Pictures include the tree by my patio, Brian's banana tree in Houston, icicles on a tree in Maine, and Brian's dog out in the backyard.
