George,
Oooh, my heart bleeds! Wednesday morning I had a low of 41F with still
air, but that was inside my house; outside it was considerably less
balmy (20F with steady winds 25-30 mph gusting to 45-50 mph). It's
Friday AM and still do not have any rental electrons with which to
play; I do, however, have fewer shingles weighting down my roof. Talk
about March coming in like a lion! January and February were downright
balmy compared to this week!
Oh well, I guess spring will get _here_ eventually. At any rate,
I'll get a taste of spring tomorrow when I go visit the Southern
Living Spring show in Charlotte NC - the landscaping displays are
always a nice taste of spring even if they are indoors.
