Right now, it is 26 F, wind is 10 mph, gusts to 18..wind chill in the 
teens.  Humidity is 65%, which is low..It was 84 this afternoon. This is 
normal for us.  We see single digits every year, and below zero single 
digits every 10 years or so.  It's been snowing all day, but not 
sticking...blowing hard though...

  I just take comfort in knowing that I'm gardening while you guys are 
shoveling snow...hehe..I am planting potatoes (tomorrow), while you guys 
are playing with the snow chains <g>.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will 
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius 
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the 
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone 
are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve 
the problems of the human race"
