I hope you have enough supplies at home so you can just hunker down and enjoy the beauty of snow falling.

many years ago, it was both fascinating and frightening.

Best of luck to you and all in this storm's path.

Not cold - near freezing but gusty winds.

Hope I get plowed out soon!

And wondering why I was complaining that it *only* got up to 53 F this afternoon. Of course, being a native Floridian I was freezing and complaining when the truck's heater didn't warm up on the trip into town. I'm such a wimp.

Stay warm and safe!
