Devoted and Disgruntled 5 Report

Sun Feb 7 14:08:17 PST 2010

Ah, you southerners, not use to a little snow.  Harrison, my yard looks like
regularly. Of course we got the army out one year in Toronto it was so deep.
That made Toronto the laughing stock of Canada, of course.  It has been
bright, sunny and clear here, amazing.  Thanks for keeping that big storm
south of the border and providing pictures.

Sending you some warmth from the desert.  Sure wish I'd had that snow  
blower when I got snowed in at my brother's cabin a couple of weeks ago!
