Still cold in upstate NY, 11 degrees this morning, been high winds for 2 days that finally faded away
this afternoon. Looking at snow coming for the weekend when the rest of the country is starting spring mode . I'm jealous.

temp trend is moving slightly upwards here... hope that stays! We beat our snowfall record this year. Previous record was 1963 (424cm). This year we've had over 470cm.
