Winter February 2026

The past 2 weeks have presented a landscape locked in 8 inches of snow with a 2 inch crust of ice as its covering. I love winter, but I have found myself grumbling a bit because I am unable to walk the dog in the farm fields behind my house. I say "The dog" because he isn't actually "my dog". He belongs to my son who has been out of the country for 6+ months and my wife and I happily agreed to take care of him until he returns. That will be soon, but in the meantime, my "happily" has turned to humbug due to the snow and ice.
