Real Winter!

It continues to snow in Ohio. We are getting 4 to 6 inches today, then another one to three inches overnight. And there is another storm tracking toward us that may bring more snow at week's end. All this is on top of the snow from the last couple of weeks which, because of below-normal temperatures, still is on the ground.

This reminds me of winters in Michigan when I was growing up. And I'd really rather have snow in February than just dead grass to look at, that's for sure. But it has been too cold to work at the Tower House so I am feeling restless and unproductive - and ready for the weather to break.

At least I got a little breather a few weeks ago. I spent Feb 2 thru 5 in Houston for a work-related training event at my company's facility there. It was rainy and overcast a lot of the time, but temperatures got to the mid-sixties. And I may go to Florida in a few weeks. And then, it will be almost spring!

Annie now has been accepted for admission at five colleges, with two still pending. She has gotten merit aid offers from some of the schools, so we are getting some idea of cost, but probably won't have the whole picture until mid-April. The deadline for picking a school is May 1, so she has about two months left to pull all the facts together and decide.
