we are actually getting a second week of mostly spring like weather - above freezing[melting] weather , we had one day in the last couple weeks that we dipped to -5f but mostly lows in the teens-twenties , now they are starting to speak of flooding because we have gotten almost twice average annual snowfall and it came early/stayed so frost is shallow , im watching the river in the back yard , not seeing it leave its banks yet , but its running high i think those down the mississippi might want to be concerned tho ,

All we are getting in Paris is piles of rubbish! The strikes; so no trash collections for the last 2 weeks!
It's starting to smell bad!
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

How bad is it in Paris? We're seeing all sorts of "Paris is Burning" stuff over here?

Our local monthly match schedule resumed this past weekend.  Temps fell back below freezing, with a cold front moving through along with winds.  Felt like about 20 deg F.  I just wasn’t prepared with warm enough clothing.  Didn’t feel warm until the end of the match.  Will probably be 80 deg at the April match.

I'm glad I didn't put the 3 citrus pot plants (oranges, lemons & key limes) out as I wanted to. We had a hard frost last night & citrus do not seem to tolerate that as the previous ones died a horrible death from it a couple of years ago.Cry
They dont exactly "do well" indoors, but it can't be as bad as leaving them outdoors!
