Annual Weather Check-up

As I am writing this post a nice drizzle of snow is coming down.  Most of the estimates that I give on this blog should probably be considered hope estimates.  Right now I would estimate that there is slightly less than a foot of snow that has fallen.  Considering that fact that the wind is constantly blowing it does not look like much until you mistakenly walk into a drift and it goes up to your knee.  The last few days the straight temperature has been in the negatives.  This is not a bad thing until the wind starts blowing and you freeze into a popsicle.  Now that I mention that about popsicles,  ice cream does sound pretty good about now.
