February, 2007

Here it is the 30th of January and its 15 degrees and snowing like crazy. In the last article I mentioned that we were getting a break in the weather. That’s sure changed. Old man winter always manages to give northeast Ohio a deep freeze. On the lighter side is that winter is more then half over.
