Still winter here, 40F in the morning and up to the 50F during the day. A lot of rain, but no storms, floods or tornadoes. Highest water I have even seen in the Great Lakes and inland lakes. The streams are high but not flooding. Still snow in the woods, but not much. Leaves are not out yet. The beech trees are all buds. It's trying to be spring and occasionally we get a taste of that, only to turn cold again. About 30 years ago we had no summer. My class reunion had a late July picnic then and we all had to wear down jackets. The bike shops didn't sell their bikes and referred to it forever after as the summer that wasn't. I hope we are not in for a repeat. We have historically had snow every month of the year and even on the 4th of July. That and the black flies keep out the apple knockers and out of state riffraff. Six months of winter and 6 more months of bad skiing. I worked outside today doing a little frame sanding. I just counted my black fly bites, 28 that I can see, but I have more on my back. The one on the end of my nose is my wife's favorite.
