Well, snow's not far off for me. Saw the first junco yesterday. I'll
have snow w/in two weeks from yesterday.
You laugh! I've been noting the juncos since '86. In 13 winters
they've been wrong four. And in those four years the snow's come just a
week later.
(Hint: They winter here. They're artic birds; when the snow starts up
north, they move south.)
