One nice thing though, is you know it isn't going to last. They have closed a road actually a couple near downtown where they know the Mississippi is going to go over the wall. So we are in flood alert - just that area and close to the river. We are way up on a hill on a St. Paul hill. But even in February the streets were melting, because the sun is just so hot/warm here that it can be -10d and it still melts. They say that if it wasn't so cold, we'd probably burn up!!!! Just a joke. It'll melt and funny how you forget the winter as sooon as Spring comes, but you did get it royal, didn't you? Edie
