I'm falling asleep... this time it's the stupor that
comes with being warm after being cold.

Really cold here today and I have to go out later. So
far, it's warmed up to 6F. Maybe it'll hit 10 before I
ought to go.

16 degrees F here right now. I just went out to get
milk and donuts for Bob. The car had that, "I don't
want to start, let me be" attitude for a second or two.
I saw the 7 day forecast, and it will warm up
considerably in the next 2 days, 50 by mid next week.
I was with punk on New Years day. We were working in
her backyard, planting things for the Spring. I heard
her say, "I can't believe how warm it has been for
January." Well, yes, 11 hours into january, it had been
very warm.

So I dropped my shovel, dragged her inside and kissed
her. It was my first time at her home, and I didn't want
any neighbors to see us kissing. Then she dropped my
shovel, dragged me outside and said, "Back to work!"

That last part is not true. But the first and second
part are true.

Brian, who crossed the big river.

It hasn't been that warm here. Occasional low 40s, not
warm enough to melt away the snow. Even the thaw that's
coming won't do that, just compress it, which will make
the kids happy because sledding will be better.

Oh, you'll see soon....big warm up....
I will try to verify that with a guess as to where in Mass.
you are. I'll just pick a northerly area.
Maybe not 50s for you, but more 40s. This arctic air shall
be gone in 2 days. Elevation matters a lot too.
