Clocks moved ahead last night...

Isn't that a sign of Spring?? Apparently not as it snowed here again over the nighttime. Not that it matters anymore really. I'll just go out and clear it away - like a rote manoeuvre - repeat over and over haha!  Last week Harry decided to clean off the roof. I got out the ladder and shovels and prepared to do the ground shoveling but after one attempt up there in the cold wind, it has been postponed a few times since.  My concern is the forecast for rain this coming week. And the snow farther up n the roof is hard and very thick. Where I shovel is covered with a slick ice. Oh joy!
On a happier note, the temperatures are getting a bit milder. We watered inside the greenhouses yesterday and tomatoes are growing, and the catgrass planted for the cats is up - we have one pot in the house already for our cats and will take a pot to Mike on next visit.
A post script to the wireless thermometer story though.  We bought the second one and put it in the big greenhouse but because of the close proximity to the little greenhouse, the sensors "cross connected" as were on the same channel and therefore did not read valid temps and basically synchronized with each other at around 63 degrees. I returned one for refund at Hardware as the Company Rep on phone stated she had no further suggestions. By coincidence though she was headed to Convention in Chicago and would enquire and call me when back in a week.  Maybe by then we won't need it as the temps will be much improved?
Today I start to do the week Food Diary Survey for Nielsen again. Record everything we eat and drink and nibble on for both of us for 7 days.I don't like this but prevail to receive a $25.00 Visa card from Nielsen for the trouble.
Hope all is well with everyone. And hope you will get good weather soon. I read the Wpg Free Press and today's picture was the blizzard/snow falling downtown at Portage ave so I know Winnipeg is not out of the woods yet!  Take care
