Professur said:Y'know ..... this might just be the thing. A winter BBQ. I could make arrangements with some of the local hunters for moose and caribou steaks. Swimming would be right out (unless someone wants to polar bear) but cross country skiing would be easy. I don't know anyone without a spare set of skis they could loan out. Great downhill less than an hour away. Mulled cider before an open fire? Or if you wanted to push it back to spring, there's still snow in the hills, but the sugar shacks are open. That would be a real kick in the seat, and you wouldn't have to worry about driving in snow.

Calif. Levees Break, Flooding Trailer Park
MERCED, Calif. - Two levees broke Tuesday in California's chief agricultural region, flooding a trailer park and threatening other homes in Merced and inundating farmland near Sacramento.
There were no immediate reports of any injuries across the Central Valley.
Rain has saturated Northern California for the past month and more is expected over the next several days.
Water breached a 30-foot section of levee along a creek in Merced, sending water pouring through a mobile home park, said Michael Miller, a spokesman for the Department of Water Resources.
South of Sacramento, a Consumnes River levee gave way, swamping pastures but not threatening any homes. The same area broke in January during heavy storms. The amount of land under water not immediately known.
San Francisco had a record 25 days of rain in March. Oakland, San Rafael and Santa Rosa also broke rainy-day records in March. Sacramento received 5.29 inches of rain in March, nearly 2 1/2 inches more than average, according to the
National Weather Service.
The rain also is melting snow in the mountains, swelling streams in the Central Valley.
