    As for the special pets, they're probably frozen popsicle sticks at the moment. It's about 6 degrees out.
    The strips usually read within about 200ppm or so of what my SWCG reads. Close enough for me.

    That's what they're saying here too. And I am a believer!

    Good enough for me too! Honestly, I wouldn't know. I have a hole in the ground with snow in it...and some dirt.

    That's pretty much what ours looks like right now. We got about 6" of snow this past Tuesday and it's still around (temps plumitted here). Here it's rare for snow to stick around this long.

    Hahaha! I do have a degree in Geology...

    The most PC thing I can say is that "change" is relative. The climate here and in Colorado (and Virginia) WILL "warm" one of these millennia!
