Oh boy are we ever having a Chinook!

After the brutal cold over Christmas Holiday, this week has brought not one, not two but three low pressure systems directly up from Hawaii. Our winds have been horrible (so far we haven't lost anything but some paint and sleep) and the temps have been in the 40s at our house for the last three days. This translates into our first breakup of the season. About 2/3 of the snow is gone and we do have grass in the yard again in Squirt's paths. It was 46 here this morning. It's good to be able to go outside in a t-shirt and no coat...
