Val says a reader had asked at the same time as I was wondering how Bill and Maggie who are second homers here were managing in Novia Scotia
Good day Friends!
Bill and Maggie when they are at their home here are star bridge players at Caylus, hence the comment about the cards to Malc.

Your missive arrived just after I spent about 4 hours just getting our 700m lane open in the wake of our latest snow "bomb". It took me that long just to be able to get to the pavement. I spent most of the day yesterday opening things up in preparation for the next snow. Saturday morning started out -25.8c, it was +5.4 this morning and raining like all hell. It is a bloody skating rink outside now and the afternoon temperature is now -2 and headed to -12 over night! Any other questions about our weather? It has been something like this most of the time since we left France in early December. Christmas was spent with Maggie's mum in Sandy Spring, Maryland (just outside Washington D.C.) The weather there ranged from +20 to -6. All in all, I would venture that global climate change is really happening. On the 17th of January we had lost all of the previous snows and it was quite mild. That day we harvested all of our Brussels sprouts which had been under the snow for over a month and they were in beautiful condition. (pictures enclosed) Yesterday on the coldest morning so far this year we had a downy woodpecker at a peanut butter stick feeder and later on in the honeysuckle bush just outside the kitchen, a sharp shined bird hawk. (see pictures) I also made a couple of shots from my tractor while I was plowing. We have our air tickets for April 14 and we will stay to the end of May. Keep the cards warm Mal!
