Last night we had a light frost, tonight it's supposed to be mid-20s, which is a trifle early for the Twin Cities. I'd gladly send it out your way if I could figure out how--it would be much more useful out there than here. My raspberries are still trying to fruit out.

As for snow, we moved here Xmas '95, and haven't had nearly that much snow since. It's very disappointing when the piles of snow in the parking lot corners are all melted and gone by mid-April instead of the end of June. I like snow. Unlike rain, you can pick it up and/or move it out of the way.

I don't remember what Dad did to deal with the hornet's nest that we had one year, but I'm fairly sure it involved some nasty chemicals. Dad is like that.
