We are in full-blown gray day mode here.  January through March....killer.  We had another big storm on Friday night that left branches all over the yard, so we went out into the gray to clean up a bit...

We are bracing ourselves for the coming months of dreariness, but we did see the first sign of spring on this tree!  Hooray, there's hope!
