Is that all the colder it is where you are? I thought the midwest was
pretty well frozen.
Let us all know how Windows 98 turns out. I don't think I'm reday for it.
We keep getting squalls, 5-10 cm here and there. It's keeping everything
pretty and white. We should have another big one this weekend (maybe) so
it should be interesting. Average temp -9 celsius, with wind chill -30-35.
Despite bad weather the roofers are coming tomorrow to reshingle our
garage. This is what Mennonite farmboys do in the winter.
The front lawn is a snowfort, and the back is now about 24 inches deep with
drifts. At least all the summertime disasters from the drought and heat
are covered up. I shudder to think what I have lost. Next phase is
groundcover, I think. The job has gotten so hectic I won't have much time
to garden and think I'll spend that little bit I do have moving my good
bulbs to the farm. Godwilling I can retire soon.
