Good it has warmed up so I can now go blow snow and spread ice melt for my block in Clintonville*

The temp has gone up from 3 degrees f to 4 degrees f.

Heatwave.

I like the snow and when it is colder because that makes it good to X-country ski on.
Besides @ times it looks like thousands of little diamonds in the sun.

One bad thing even though I emptied the gas out of it my snow blower wouldn’t start.

8. I loved downhill skiing, but wouldn't want to live, while working and driving, in cold country

11. Correct, plumaria do not like it cold. Thankfully, they are easy to propagate as we've had unusual freezes

the last 4 years. I cut off the stalks the day before the freeze, store the cuttings in the garage, and stuck the stalks in the ground when once the threat of a freeze has passed.

About an 80% chance of success and have grown about 3’ in 9 months. Hope it doesn’t freeze this year as I would appreciate more blooms
