Temps are single digits this morning.  I have to scoop snow.  But the sun is shining and it will get above freezing today.  Spring really will be coming, right?

The air out smells fantastic after that day of snow....brisk and refreshing.

I learned a new term to share.  This is our Colorado problem, due to the freeze and thaw cycles, and why it is always icy.  I may not live in the mountains but it sure happens here in the foothills....glacial ice.
