so much ice

Good morning.
I've just returned from cleaning the Salon. It was dicey driving, as we're getting more snow this morning.  :-(
We actually had 4 days this week with no snow, and 3 days of sunshine.   :-)
Our forecast is showing a warm-up next week, as temps may get into the 40's.  :-)   We'll hope they're right.
We are right now experiencing Michigan's 5th coldest winter on record! We've had 3 straight months of below normal temps. The great lakes are closing in on a record also. The most ice coverage. The combined great lakes are 88.4% covered with ice. The record, set in 1979 is 94.7. This bitter cold weekend may push us past that.
The average ice cover is 51.4%, and last year managed only 38.7%.
In other news.....
The work week was steady and uneventful.
While cleaning up after dinner yesterday, the garbage disposal died. So tomorrow, we'll go out and get another one.
And that's all I've got for now.
