Warm, wet and wild

That ought to confuse the spam bots, but it's just a description of our weather today. The golf course is oozing fog as the warm air hits the cold ground, and there's standing water everywhere. I think we have what Illinois had yesterday; then the temps will drop tonight. I only have one more day on my step-challenge, but won't make it, but I will still up it for the next 30 days to 7,000.




A friend in Colorado called Sunday and said he was putting something in the mail that he hoped arrived here by Thursday. Yesterday we got an e-mail stating that their access road had been closed by an avalanche. In the last 3 days they'd received about 3 ft. of snow and he'd been on the roof shoveling, 7'-6" of snow (deepest spot). He says in his county they design for 65lb snow load, and his roof came out to 72 lbs per sq. ft. They have had 33 ft. of snow this winter. Good skiing. But the mail will have to wait.

That pesky global warming strikes again.

I read today that China is in the midst of it's worse winter in over 100 years.
