Dreary. Dismal. Disappointing. Disgusting. Darned muddy that is what it is! .. Just dirty snow hanging around with all the warm rain. The front drive out here is an ice rink with water standing on it.. the back yard is soggy dirty snow.

We do not like the effect of global warning. We would rather have a global cooling... so that we could return to the winter of the old days. When the snow and cold arrived in December and it stayed that way until spring arrived in April! Oh, for the good old days.

Now winter is fickle. Comes in for a week or two, then lets the warmer weather push its way in and melt things down, even bring the rain until we get a good artic blastic to freeze things again. It makes it difficult, nerve wracking and just not as much fun trying to make a living in northern michigan's winter wonderland!
