I'm not sure if everyone is feeling the same way right now, but I am super ready for spring, and the changing of the season. Maybe it's that I live in New England, and the winters are longer here, but it seems that the temperature has been below freezing for an eternity. I originally thought it was cool to see that the rivers had frozen over, but now I'm thinking... "give me a break". I thought that Puxatawny Phil didn't see his shadow... The picture above is a stark reminder to me about how bad the snow can get.

Oh, and as a bonus... since it started raining a couple days ago, our sump pump turned on, and we've been pumping out the french drain system for the last three days. I am praying that we don't have another March 2010, when we got 14 inches of rain, and our basement was literally a river because the ground water level was so high.
