[HPFGU-OTChatter] Bitter winter

[OctobersChild48 at aol.com]

While it has not been a mild winter here in  Cincinnati, it hasn't been 
overly cold either. We've only dropped below  zero twice and for the most part 
we have been in the teens and twenties.  That's not bad for Cincinnati; our 
winters are often brutally cold. We  have had snow on the ground non-stop 
since early December, and we got hit  by the ice storm a few days ago. The 
snow here doesn't come close to  comparing with Chicago or the northeast coast. 
The most we have gotten is  6 inches at a time. But it has been around 
forever and I'm sick of it. I  walk to and from work and I have a 75 lb. dog I 
walk six times a day. I  feel pretty lucky because I have only fallen once. I 
consider myself a  winter person. I like cold weather and tolerate it well. 
But although I am  in no way ready for spring, I sure am ready to put this 
winter behind me.  And there's snow in the forecast for tomorrow ...  sigh.

How is everyone doing during this unusually cold winter? Even in  Tucson, 
we were down to 17 degrees F. (-8 C.) this morning, but we'll be  up to 50 
(10 C.) by this afternoon. Hope nobody's car is stuck on  Lakeshore Drive in 
Chicago!

Carol, wondering whatever happened to  global  warming
