It is sunny and in the low 50's here in southern WV. Rain showers mid-week took away all evidence of our last big snow, which measured 14 1/2 inches at my back door. We are to stay mild until Monday, when temperatures drop again, and we experience another polar vortex later in the week. The electric bill came this week, and as expected, it was right at $400; no complaints tho, as we were warm and comfortable during the extreme cold. I pay extra on my power bill all year long to help towards our largest winter bill, so all is still good. March will likely be cold and snowy, and that may be the same in early April, but by mid-April, we should start seeing more sunshine and warming temperatures, with evidence of ground warming. WV has seen a colder winter as was predicted for us.

Hello boby! I live in Buffalo and we've gotten over 92 inches of snow this winter. Some melted in the warmer weather you described, and its sunshine today and very high winds. We will be back in the single digits by the end of next week! We've never had such cold weather to give us -15 and -25 wind chill.

You just can't go outside in that weather. When its 30 and 40's like it was this past week you think Spring is here and people are wearing shorts! Good Luck boby!

Oh, I forgot. There is a lot of snow melting (on these warmer days) and people in West Seneca, NY are in dire straits. Its the second time in a month that the creeks by their homes rose and the water overflowed into their basements big time! Yesterday they got a second dose.

Please pray for these people as they are at the end of their ropes. They are still cleaning up after the first hit a few weeks ago. It was on the news about one couple with water gushing, and I mean gushing into their basement. Everything was lost for these people.

They are looking for help and equipment to move the water out of their neighborhoods.

Say a prayer.

KKali, so glad to hear all is well with you and little Isabella! It's in the 40s in central PA today so I'm happy to be outside.

Off to the barn now. Enjoy!

Hi! I have a minute, so I thought I'd check in. Big surprise...we're expecting more snow for Sunday-Tuesday! Like I said before, I love winter but...enough is enough! I hope all of you are safe and warm. I hear the west coast is getting some much needed rain so that's good! Isabella has a new little raincoat and matching boots that I can't wait to put on her! It's pink polka dots and they were gifts from my 2nd graders! How sweet is that?

I hate to admit this, but today in Seattle it was inching towards 60 degrees...beautiful sun, blue skies...I the birds were acting like Spring had come. It was lovely! Suppose to cool off this weekend, but today was amazing!
