Unbelievable. . .

Here we are, two days away from Thanksgiving and I have yet to see a single snowflake. . . I have not taken my heavy winter coat out of the closet and I don't even know where my boots are. Does this mean we are in for a mild winter? I wouldn't complain about that! The deer hunters can't be happy - tracking a deer with snow on the ground is easier than no snow.

The forecast for the next 5 days is for falling temperatures into the high 30's - rain with a possible snowflake here and there.

I have lived in Rochester for 35 years. During that time, we have had maybe three or four really severe winters. Yes, I will admit, the first major snowfall of the year is fun. . . and Molly gets excited when she sees snow for the first time. . . but when it gets so deep that I have to shovel a path in the backyard for her to go potty, well then it's no fun anymore. And when March comes and you are hit with a major snowstorm, that's when you start screaming!
