I hope that your personal things are good things and not problems~!
Did it snow a lot in the NorthWest where you live? It snowed today in the NorthEast, we had about three inches of snowfall before it stopped in the evening. We only had an inch of snow last month and it also only lasted for one day. The rainfall the next day washed most of it away! The average temperature outside today was in the low thirties, so it's not too cold right now as long as people bundle up before going outside. We had one day last month when the temperature dipped down to seven degrees and with the wind chill factor, it felt like minus twenty degrees - Now that's cold!
