I miss both lilacs and snow, but we never had snow quite like that where I grew up in Leavenworth, Kansas. Down here in SE Texas it's been in the 20's most of the day, which is very unusual in the daytime. This is the second bad winter in a row, and our tropical plants are suffering. Maybe I could grow lilacs after all. Meanwhile, I'm thinking leg warmers and hot chocolate would be nice. My DH thinks he's playing golf on Friday, and he probably will.
