Better weather

The sun is out today, and there's not a cloud in the sky. The official temp right now is 26°, but my car thermometer showed it as 34°. Snow is definitely melting. The hot water is running in the garage again. Looks like the faucet on the back of the garage might have burst. It has a relief valve, but the whole thing is coated with ice, and I can't tell if the valve worked or if it broke.

Best news, though: Gastón reappeared this morning, one week to the day after he disappeared. His feet were barely wet, and he was warm to the touch, as if he'd been lying in the sun somewhere. My guess is that he spent the whole storm in a neighbor's house and didn't come out until five minutes before I found him.
