Sunny today but still cold. No more snow for a while. Maybe, with warmer temps and rain tomorrow and Thursday, some of the white mountains will disappear but I expect some of this will be around till April.

Infidel753 posted an interesting piece on the controversy brewing over the census. Yesterday the administration's nominee to run the census in 2020 withdrew after fierce opposition.

I hadn't gotten to the point of refusing to answer--but for how much longer??
