I was going to wait a bit before writing today's report, because today can't decide what kind of a day it's going to be. We had a little light snow and minus temperatures at breakfast time, but at lunch we have about 4 degrees and--hate to say it--rain. Very light rain, though, and the freezing line should be coming down during the afternoon. Hopefully that means rain turning to snow, frowns turning to grins. I'm always optimistic, since we do live in Myoko, after all, and snow will come. At least the roof isn't threatened by tons of endlessly falling snow.
