Ben;
The weather man says we are going to be in the mid 70's this weekend. If it hold, I should be able to mak a lot of progress installing my new bridge, to the top of Rosebud Falls. The bridge will do a cross over of the mainline at ground level and that is the section I've been "realigning." Hope it warms up soon in your part of the woods.

I wish i could jump in the Pacific Ocean with you to warn up ????? . I have been working on 7 new bird houses and refinished 5 old ones . I have a few other buildings i must refinished yet .
come on spring, i'm tired of the cold weather . BEN
Well we havew some good news here on the weather front, we have been in drought now for about 5 years and were talking about 2,000,000 square miles of it. We have been getting torrential moonsoonal type rain for about a week or so, 100 mm (4") during these last 2 days. Some areas are still in drought and some are flooded out, out national highway is cut in 2 places, up above the Tropic of Capricorn.
It is getting toward the end of summer here and it hasn't been under 20 dg C (even of a night time) for about 4 months, its too hot to even wear socks. As we have Christmas in the middle of summer few of us have ever experienced much under 30 deg C. Some people from states further south, go up into the mountains in July, to try to experience a cold or even white chistmas.

Have fun with your trains
That's why you have the indoor loop Ben.
I've been looking at that white stuff on the ground since November. But I have found a little time of late to get back to working on models.
Only seven inches? Be glad your not in up-state NY! Cold in middle TN right now but no snow on the ground, at least not where I live. Anyway all I can do is gaze at my engine sitting on the mantel over the fireplace, and dream.............
Stay warm Ben -
