The winter thaw!

I haven't written since December before Christmas and it just dawned on me.

We had a rough winter around here, We almost broke snow fall records for the entire winter, we were only a few inches short. The last time we had close to this much snow was back in 1995!

So enough about that annoying white stuff, It has all melted now finally and we are starting to see sunlight and warm weather around the corner. Of course, with warmth comes melting. A few weeks ago we experienced just that. I'm sure a number of you saw the pictures I uploaded of the flooding, but just in case you missed it...... here is a photo for your amazement.



Pick your jaw up off of the floor...................do you have it yet? Yup, that's what we dealt with during the thaw. This was a combined effort of more than enough snow with a full day's worth of raining.... hard rain! 

It took 2 days to get everything back to "normal" with the exception of a section of road that drifted away AND part of the railway that runs from New York City to here. So, railway riders have been taking Metro-North buses instead. 

Lots of Chaos! 

With the spring on the way, I am looking forward to using our nice yard and have a party. I saw all of the spring/summer sport equipment in the store today and couldn't help but daydream of warmer weather. Here's to welcoming the much missed sunlight!
