WARM and STORMY...

66* today... SIXTY-SIX DEGREES... can you BELIEVE that... 2 days of mild temps have ALMOST completely erased any traces of the 16" of snow we still had on the ground! Seeing grass... sidewalks... and our paved driveway seemed almost surreal... but a much welcomed sight! We are WELL AWARE that this will not last forever... and that truly warmer temps are a ways off (for our area)... but what a nice (and much needed) treat!

Unfortunately though... along with the good... does come some bad... FLASH FLOODING (due to the rapid melting of the snow)... and a major icebreak in a neighboring town has resulted in evacuations of homes... we've also had POURING RAIN (in between much welcomed glimpses of the SUN!)... and just avoided some SEVERE thunderstorms this evening (which skirted to the South of us)...

I'm sure soon enough the temps will dip again... and the snow will fall... but these past couple of days (although VERY WET) have been WONDERFUL!
