While the weather outside remains cold, the temperature has warmed to 15F. Along with a spot of sunshine, folks are beginning to get out and about.
Personally, will wait a bit until snow begins to melt away. See no need to rush it, as have plenty of reading to catch up on, ever so many sporting events to watch in addition to enough groceries and coffee to last till March.
Off course, all the above depends on the electric power to continuing. So far it has. Let's hope it continues.
Stay Warm - Coming soon to your Neighborhood -
