<![CDATA[Good morning! Welcome. Today is Feb. 11, 2026. The weather here in western New York has settled somewhat, with temps yesterday and today going into the 40's, where they were 10 below the night before. This has caused two things to happen, one good, one not so good. The good: My frozen pipes, which shut off my water in the house here, have thawed, so now I have my water back. Other homes don't, however, as I see reports of broken water lines and gas lines all over the Northeast. This often happens when above-ground temps swing so wildly. Welcome to my world.]]>
