Blast of March



February ended and March began with a chill recalling the horrible winter during which we replaced the footvalve. The temperature was above zero for a few days, and we dug up all the pipes and laid them out in the driveway. We packed it all back into the well, and then frantically called Johnny to bring over the loader to bury it again. Immediately afterward it dropped to -20. It's been around that temperature for the last few days, but tomorrow will take us back near zero, with warmer days to come. Perhaps this was the very last of the truly cold days of the year! For the last two days the wind has been howling; all night it was like an endless train going by. This morning was calmer, but the wind continued to gust at intervals. The snow is rock-hard once again.
