Our week was actually milder than many parts of the country; some of our days had above-freezing temperatures. By the weekend, however, we are into the deep-freeze. Tonight (Sat.) will likely dip to zero F. Today we went for a walk on snow-shoes at the Smithfield Plantation land; this is where the Bear decided to roll around in the snow; if he stayed still longer than two seconds, I would have nicer pictures of him, but he doesn’t.
