Ah, the wonders of modern travel. One day you are walking on the warm sands of southern Florida and the next you are shoveling snow in the cold, gray Midwest. Our visit to the Gulf was all too short but I still prefer life in the Temperate Zone, warts and all.
The days are noticably longer now and we expect a week of 30s and 40s, with intermittent, sloppy snow; not near as nice as the sunny 70s of Florida but a significant improvement from the ice and single digits of last week. Within another month, early crocuses and spring peepers will make their appearance, reassuring us that spring is on the way.
