February follows January
Well, the "Non" Winter of 2012 continues, as another forming ocean storm should slide out into the Atlantic well south of New England. The Rosemary still growing and surviving the winter, the daffodils are poking through and the roses beginning to show life. Snow pack, not like last year when it was measure in feet, the number this season is "0". Well, at least the heating bill will also be moderate.

Winter in Woonsocket
Save for the snow at the end of October, the strange dry and mild winter continues. In fact, I have yet to bring up the ice melt from the basement, and mid-January is upon the region. A storm towards the end of the week should bring rain. Talk of colder temps beyond that may make any storms that develop at least interesting. But up until now, "boring" is the word !!!
