Hey Nancy!

 NB> You probably would hit that ad nauseum bit pretty soon.... 

We'll never know for sure now that it is March.

 NB> And have you had word yet...?

Yes.  Second coldest Febuary on record and most, if indeed not all, the snow
days set records for that particular day.  The sub par temperatures continue as
 we speak although it has warmed up a tad, at least during the day.  No rain
but there is a warning for snow for Vancouver and the Fraser valley for
tomorrow.  

Please make it stop!!!  :::sigh:::

 NB> That was indeed lucky for them...

Yes but the backup isn't as good although they haven't complained about it ...
yet.

 NB> Meanwhile, we're back into teens F for highs, and single digits
 NB> for lows... Sunday may get to 50

That sounds exactly like the forecast for here.  Normally we'd have flowers
blooming and lawnmowers agravatting everyone weeks ago.  I don't miss the
lawnmowers but I am betting the bees and hummingbirds miss the flowers.  I've
seen hummingbirds at the feeders but zero bees thus far.

Maybe next week.

Life is good,
Maurice
