Hi Bizi,

yeah well it's kinda funny what happened. of course as i predicted we'd have ice till Feb (happened last year) instead we got a "warm" spell (that is around 40F daytime) so the ice did melt. even though we got some rain there were some dry days so what ice had formed at night got melted off in most places. the city was pretty clean when i got to it...

there is still some snow/slush/ice from before - because it gets piled up in big mounds and those really can't melt in a week with a max of 40 because it's packed and refrozen stuff. so we have ummm... you could say snow "cones" (but they are sooty and nasty - non-commestible!) still around most everywhere. mostly to the side of walking areas, so they are not hazards. neither attractive nor unattractive, but kinda goofy looking if you ask me.

so the current situation is a little ironic... they are - and have for several days - expected more snowstorms. this time they salted roads, sidewalks, you name it!!! but we're STILL WAITING for this long-predicted snow to arrive!!! and they keep on predicting it, too. it's like, what, did it get held up at the border patrol or something???

Hey Bizi don't feel bad... when i was in Florida 44 meant mandatory gloves to me. then again i was always an accessory fanatic. looooooved gloves. do you have any gloves?
do people in your area wear them at all?
most of my friends in FL did not wear gloves... i didn't care, i had them, i liked them, so i used them.

(((hugs)))
