Extended winter

It's officially still winter until 21-Mar, but usually by this time we are climbing through the low 40s for high temps.  But we have been in an extended "polar vortex" due to erratic jet stream patterns for most of the time since mid January. We did manage to get two high 40s days last weekend to get rid of a lot (but not all) of the heavy snow that had accumulated. There is more snow on the way after the weekend, however.  A lot of people are complaining about winter now, of course.  But I'm trying not to. It is what it is.
