I get the weather emailed to me three times a day. You just have to be sure living up in the northern office, don't you know. After a most hideous winter, it is now raining buckets. And the snow is disappearing -- not the big humongous snow banks that at times were 12-feet high, mind you -- but disappearing right before my eyes right now.

But this is what today's weather forecast says:

April 1, 2008
