heh..."Merry Krippits" is something I used to say when I was really little, & for some reason the whole family thought it was cute so we all say it. Nothing like baby-talk 43 years after the fact to keep you humble. ;-)

We are having one messy winter this year. You always get more snow than I do but it sounds like it started really early for you this year. Hopefully we'll both have a mild spring to make up for it. I am still able to handle snowstorms in December, but late February storms make me want to cry.
