have to scrape about an inch off my care tomorrow morning. I'm convinced spring is never going to come.

I thought we were supposed to get something later on Saturday, but the guy on Channel 10 said we're getting hit from Sunday into Monday - again. It's been pouring all day and night, guess the temperature is supposed to drop. I suppose I shouldn't complain yet. I remember one time when we had a blizzard here in May.

I have to run over to the States 8 days from now, and most of the time will be in the northeast and midwest. I do get a few days back in Dallas, but only 3 out of 14, and part of the time I will be in Maine. I guess I had better bring the winter coat. Here in the Rheinland, we actually had 21° (close to 70°F) yesterday!!

and rain gear, and sun screen. You are going to be in quite a mix of conditions. And probably lots of things to read at airports while you are waiting for delayed flights.

I do wish you safe travels, though.

We are going for a ship christening (named after the father of a friend of ours) and we are not going all the way to North America to be late for that!

I saw my first crocuses yesterday. Spring came late here but it has arrived.

Keep up the faith. Spring may come to you soon too!

On DU2 most folks included at least their home states, but hardly anyone's been doing it on DU3. It drives me crazy.

I enjoy listening to the whining of everyone NOT living in Florida.

I did have to wear a hoodie for three whole days this winter. It gets a little chilly at 6:00 am and doesn't stop until about 7:00am and the temps reach the seventies.
