We continue to have about 3 inches of snow cover but it won’t be around long.  There is a substantial warmup on the horizon for us in early February.  I’m hoping that it lasts all month.  I’m ready for some spring-teaser weather.  We’re beginning to see more days coming with highs above freezing, so the snow should be dwindling away a little at a a time.
