Replying to a message of Earl Croasmun to Bob Ackley:

Note that I have about eight inches of global warming out in the yard -
with drifts up to four feet high, one car is buried up to its windshield.
The outside temperature at the moment is -5F, which is close to a
record low for this time of year, and the forecast high for today (Thursday)
is about +15F.

I had to dig my way through a four-plus foot drift at the door to the dogs'
kennel last evening so I could feed them.
