"Candlemas [Feb. 2] is the last feast of winter and the first feast of spring" (from Winters in the World by Eleanor Parker) - I wonder if that means the weather was more temperate and predictable back then, or is it just that it's milder in the UK, anyway?
It snowed Sunday night, but then the air was mild, so the snow didn't last. Today, we had a little bit more with some freezing rain - a very different matter. They closed the library and other town offices. But Sunday - we are supposed to have seven to ten inches through Sat. night and all day Sunday! That changed from this morning's prediction which was three to six inches. Wow.

"Icicles hang from the eaves in long silver needles, and around the unshoveled walks, the small prints of stay-at-home rabbits make fascinating patterns." - Gladys Taber. My brother saw a rabbit the other day, which was nice, because we are seeing hawks practically every day.
