Ants and Snow Do Not Belong on the Same Page

I mean, WTF? I'm used to having ants in the kitchen in the spring and in the fall. It's one of the prices you pay for living in a cool old house in a neighborhood where lots of the homeowners are passionate about not using gobs of pesticides in their yards.

But ants in February? While the snow is pelting down? Nuh-uh. What are these, special cold-resistant Boreal ants imported from Canada?

D-:

And while we're at it, WTF snow again??? And more in Friday night? The National Weather Service is not usually confidant enough to say 90% chance of snow this far ahead of time - but that's what they're saying!

There are ants here, too - but not in the kitchen, in the bathroom. I can't figure out why they're interested! Maybe there's some organic shampoo squirreled away someplace that they're eating?

We get ants in our bathroom too, although not right now, thank goodness. They have to climb about 3 stories to get there, because of the way our lot slopes. I sometimes wonder if the artificial sweetener in the toothpaste fools them into thinking they've found sugar ... .)
