Sure, we’ve had some cold days but if you let it make you bitter then the cold wins.

A colder February than Siberia!

Coldest in our history, and not just by a couple of degrees either!

However, we are currently bathed in glorious sunshine, icicles are actually dripping! But experience tells me in another hour it will start to cloud over and the temperature will begin to plummet. Every slightly melty thing will once again freeze! And even though it’s not enough to actually cause melt back in the three or more feet of snow lying about, for a couple of hours this afternoon everyone will be able to smell spring on the air.

And it’s awesome!

(Only to be crushed by a Siberian winter too cold to take the dog out! 2hrs later!)

This morning via twitter I got an WMUR weather person to confirm that none of the very few historically colder NH Februarys have had this much snow.
