It hasn't been as bad as the rest of the country, but this Winter has been a bit of a surprise here in Salem. On December 8th, the temperature hit a low of 8 ℉, and on the 9th it reached 12 ℉, but there was little snow until yesterday. We had 8 inches of snow and the temperature never got above 27 degrees, so the
COLD weather persists. But, I derive much
COMFORT thinking about the spectacular rose display of next Summer.
