It’s just disappointing that it can also be the reason of a bigger problem, especially on your house, what with frozen pipes and all. Good thing it’s all over now. I just hope that the next winter will give you and your family enjoyment and not a problem.<br /><br /><a href="http://capitalcareplbg.livejournal.com/6653.html" rel="nofollow">Wilson Horton @ Capital Care Plumbing</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686845397998367245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-18036575440531177522014-02-23T17:48:03.854-05:002014-02-23T17:48:03.854-05:00What a lovely, reflective post.

Some of the locals have started floating the idea of a new ice age.<br /><br />I resist the urge to play Bill Nye and remind them the west is catching hell with Biblical-level drought and high temps.

You folk have come through much and accomplished much. I imagine that you are due for a bit of a warming trend as it's going to go above freezing for the next three days (not nights though). What a treat that will be, and I won't talk about what we are expecting in four days time. :)Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-79112763950619142132014-02-18T12:21:26.856-05:002014-02-18T12:21:26.856-05:00You are brave and strong and have been honed by li...You are brave and strong and have been honed by life.
