BRR--As this week begins, it is mighty cold outside and everything is sparkling with a thick white layer of frost. The forecasters assure us that this is going to be short-lived and we'll be back to rain by the time you read this and that will be fine with me. There were a few folks who woke up to frozen pipes again and no water so I'm sure they'll be more than happy to see it warm up. Considering the arctic blast that is still hanging around the Midwest and East coast, I'm grateful we're in the 20s and not in the minus 20s with a foot or more...

NEXT ROUND?--We finally got over the "deep freeze" although there are still ponds and shady spots that are frozen.

If you believe the Farmer's Almanac, they are saying we could have snow for several days before Christmas and during Christmas, so for all of you who would (for some reason) want a white Christmas, I'm sure you'll be cheering for snow to fall,...
