Merci, Stephen, I'm glad you liked it. Well the sun the last two days has melted
most of the icicles except those frozen in the shade. I didn't see any hard hats
though, beyond the usual. It was funny for my son (he's 11) was saying that he
was sort of afraid of icicles falling on his head, and no sooner had I reassured
him, then all the icicle warnings were announced and even some streets and
areas cordoned off. An entirely other reality, the weather here! and thanks
again,
Rebecca
