But take heart. It won't be long now. And this winter, no matter how persistant it seems to be, has nothing, and I mean NOTHING, on last winter. 2013-14 winter was without a doubt the most viscious and long winter in a good 40 years here. This year has been a cakewalk compared to that.

My favourite time of year, really. Temps warming up, no bugs, no MOSQUITOES, and we're on the doorstep of a good 6 months of generally nice weather.
