As I'm typing I'm listening to yet another snow storm warning for this weekend. I think I'm done with winter....and that's huge news coming from a guy who normally is the last one holding out for a snow storm into March. Was it the winter, or is it my age?
Maybe it was the 68 degree temps last Tuesday.
