    When we left Madison around 7 this am it was 58 degrees. Two hours down the road it was 34. 28 by the time we got through Duluth....

    Came home to about 7" of snow and three trees across the drive. That's what I get for putting the summer tires and sandals on :busted:

    On a side note, the deer were loving all the 'old man's beard' on the tops of the trees. There were tracks everywhere.

    Damn the bottom fell out Fitz with your temps!! We got heavy snow yesterday morning around 3:45 while I was hauling milk. None of it stayed though which was fine by me. I think we hit about 25 degree's this morning.

    No. I just lay my hand out there like a dead fish and let you wiggle it.

    Don't know if I could do it, Fitz. Virginia's climate is okay by me.

    When I saw the picture the first thing I thought was the one thing I don't miss about spring in Ontario is the snowstorms. Everything thawed out and starts greening up, then get kicked in the sack by a snow storm. Its pretty, but I hated it.

    If it wasn't for the cold temps and the bugs, everyone would want to live up here :busted:
