The snow pictures are lovely. I am sure the snow is a pain to deal with, especially if you and everyone around you is unused to it. Whenever it snows here I just kind of point and laugh, because the locals freak out so easily. I'd like to see what they would do with 3 ft of snow in April.

I am glad you finally have a date for the surgery. I am sure the waiting was the worst.

Yay for the new boiler! I am sure looking out at the snow is much more enjoyable now that the outside and inside temperatures are vastly different.
