Yes I know it has been some time since I've posted any news, but there is a good reason. There really hasn't been any. February was a fairly tame month weather wise. Not much snow, some rain, a few cold days but not a lot to speak about. One day just melds into another.

But now March is here, and though you know there is still some winter weather ahead, you can't help but feel spring can't be far away. That's not because the weather tells you that, after all it is 6 degrees right now headed for 5-10 below tonight, and snowing like crazy, but it's March. March is followed by April and you know the rest. So even if we get a big storm, the snow can't last too long.

The funny thing is, I was thinking this on the way home tonight, it doesn't seem like winter has really been all that difficult. There certainly was some shock in the very begining, and maybe I have a short memory (many would say no maybe about that) but here we are in March, there was never a problem with the road, I never got stuck or had any type of problem with the house, pause (I had to knock on wood), that couldn't be easily fixed. Now I'm looking at another month of iffy weather and then April and mud. Not tremendously exciting, and there could honestly be more problems with the thaw than with the cold winter, but I was here last April and with one exception didn't find it to be intolerable. So I'm looking forward to the change in not too many days.

There was a big party this past Saturday night out at Corey Island. Big bon fire, snow machines, ATVs, dogs, sleds. Looked like everyone was having a good time truly enjoying the winter.

That is about it. Hopefully my optimistic outlook won't get me into trouble and you'll hear form me again shortly.
