There's a big Yellow ball in the sky and it is heating things up!

This has been the winter of our discontent here on Long Island, and across many parts of the country with more snow and colder temperatures for longer times than most of us recall in a long while.  There have been a few moments of reprieve and today is one of them. Most of the snow has melted, except of course in those areas where the piles are six feet tall, and covered in black shmutz. I, for one, am extremely glad that we have "sprung forward" and that it stays light longer into the evening, when this happens I know that warmer weather cannot be far behind and I am so ready for it this year.  I am hearing about a storm that might hit us on Thursday with some more of the withe stuff, but I am not going to let that ruin my smile today.
