Weather!

OK, I have finally thawed from the cold winter, however, I did not miss the snow and ice in the midwest.  The latest report on that last snow they had that was so deep is - 28 inches deep - which was on their local weather channel.  That is deeper than the grandkids told me.  My son works at the hospital and part of his job is to keep the walks n parking lots clear of ice and snow.  When the snow started, they kept him and one or two other maintenance personnel over night so they could wake them and they could keep the snow cleaned off during the blizzard while it  was happening.  There were two of them who definitely did not get much sleep in about three days.  They put up cots for them to spend the night and catch some winks.  Well, my son and one of the other workers are about six foot five inches tall.  Have you seen a cot?  The end of the cot hit them about mid-calf or a little higher.  They didn't get much rest at all.  It is still cold here in the early mornings until that sun peeks over the mountain.  Now it is much warmer during the day. and not quite as cold at night.  I think today was near the 80s.  Very Nice.............. We will soon be getting some rain and then the desert will take on a greener look. Somewhere in March the cacti will be blooming.
