Dreaming of Spring (and preparing for another blizzard)

Ugh. On Saturday it snowed 28 inches here in Philadelphia and now that the city has almost dug itself out, we hear that another 18-24 inches is expected tonight. This would be great if I lived in the mountains, but the city comes to a stand still with this sort of weather. Here is what my little deck looked like on Saturday:

Hamachi managed to enjoy the snow yesterday

But here is what I am keeping my thoughts focused on right now. 

Hamachi seems to like any weather as long as there are pigeons to watch (which unfortunately there are!)

How do you manage to stay happy when the long winter starts to get you down? I am thinking a trip to Mexico would be nice right about now!
