[AT] OT snow

Wed Mar 10 00:23:45 PST 2010

Well they say we might get some more nasty weather later this week.  Right 
now it's warm.  Got up to near 70 today but the wet weather is moving in.  I 
just hope it's still liquid when it gets here.  We don't need rain but we 
need snow and ice less.  Our farmers are way behind getting into the fields. 
The soil is too cold to plant even if it was dry enough to plow.

Thank's Charlie,
The only sign of spring I've found so far is cat s**t and the rumor of a
dead badger on the railroad tracks ;-) 4" of snow is fore casted for the
beginning of next week at least we had daytime temperatures above freezing a
few days now.
