You've grown up since then ...... no more crazy Zedyer!
I expect you've had exactly the same weather as me today ...... probably out of the same rain cloud. :D

It has been an easy winter in Cleveland so far. We just been hit with dustings so far. The lake is 5 percent ice covered where it should be mostly covered by now. No lake erie ice fishing for second straight year.
My husband was in Cleveland just a week ago, and the weather was unseasonably mild. But that's typical of January in Cleveland. Neither of us misses winter.
