Winter still hangs on.

But days grow ever longer.

Who counts the snowflakes?

Yes the days are getting noticeably longer. And by that I mean the sun is staying up a few more minutes each evening, not that I have to work extra hours each day. Soon the runoff will begin and we can worry about flooding… but before that, I predict at least one more really cold snap and another major snowfall. What’s that the ranchers recite? Half your hay by Groundhog Day.  Which means there’s still lots of winter to come.
