Rarely (and never in my lifetime) has there been a year where we don’t have any snow this far into the season. This year we’ve had a total of nine inches thus far, but it was in three separate batches and melted completely away. The first part of this week, the temperatures have been hovering in the 40s and 50s (Fahrenheit). And then winter came knocking and it wouldn’t take no for an answer. Batten down the hatches, hold onto your hats and don’t stand up…this is going to be one heck of a bumpy ride! And I’m doing a show. Go figure.
