Happy Tuesday,

Yesterday was the first real thaw of the season. Foot-thick sheets of ice slid off rooftops, including the one right over my head, and the river is rising. Roads are still flanked by massive, dense snowbanks, and all the meltwater doesn’t have anywhere to go. With temperature expected to fall to the lower teens tonight and tomorrow, we might have some very interesting driving in the coming days. It’s never fun when your road turns to mud, and tire tracks freeze in place only to be removed by snowpack or snowplow.

Owen is enjoying the weather, though. He’s spent a good chunk of the morning outside, mostly laying down on top of the highest snowbank in the parking lot, staring across the field at the still-frozen river. Soon enough I’ll have to go fetch him from the river, in warm Spring weather.

We still have a good number of used MacBooks that were tested and cleaned up by Small Dog technicians. They’re an excellent value at only $599, and they come with MacOS X Snow Leopard and iLife ’11 (the very latest software from Apple).

As always, thanks for reading, and keep in touch.
