Well, here in the Eastern U.S. at least we’re experiencing continuing snow and major amounts of it, without a chance for the old stuff to melt away before the new falls. It’s getting tiresome, and trying to plan outings difficult; but we hope that if you have Jane-related stuff going on near you, you can still get out to take advantage of it!
