We have the first positive weather forecast in recent memory around here, and you know things are weird when you say that about the prediction of rain. But it's rain that will come amidst some slightly warmer temperatures, which should help with the backlogged snow around here. The storms have come so close to each other lately that we have piles of the stuff that are over five feet high, and it's hard to get optimistic that spring is on its way with that kind of scenery.
