We had that HUGE storm on Tuesday, and if you read the post from Yukonflu to me, you'll see that we've had a rough couple of days!! But we're all safe and sound back here at home now, so it's going to get better from here!

Hope everyone else up North here is ok too. And if you're expecting it down south today, good luck and I hope you have a backup generator, because no power for 3 days SUCKS!!!!!

You know when you are home and snuggled in and have what you need - oh and have power, lol - that can be fun - but sounds like you had a rough go of it.

Our weather is typical Colorado right now - 60 one day, 30 the next, then 50, then snow and ice and cccold, then 40, back to 60, you get the idea.

Stay warm!!!

We're getting hammered again. It seems to be at its peak right now, but it's supposed to stop within a few hours.

I can't even see outside! It's CRAZY! I'm just glad our power is back!! And my crazy husband is on his way to the store to get some things...argh! I told him we can do without, but he won't listen. So now I'm all freaked out! Sandigal

Q) well, you're lucky your husband is home! My son-in-law is in Florida as we speak and daughter is snowbound with a 4 year old and 2 year old. She said they have no place to go and a cousin plows their driveway for free, so she's not complaining. They were out of milk. I told her to ask the cousin plow guy to bring some with him but she said if he plows for free, she can't also ask him to pick up groceries! Guess she has a point. Anyway, the CNN guy in Cleveland was almost invisible in the snow !

He's here, but not feeling well either, so I've been trying to put my house back together, catch up on laundry, and take care of a sick little toddler by myself while he rests..it's been hard!! But we're lucky we got the food and stuff. Emily and I made it to church today! Sandigal

The weather dude said we have had more snow here in the last winter than we have had in 50 yrs. Finally today there are just a few patches left in the yard. The temps have also been bitterly cold. Our thermostat rarely goes above 61-62 degrees tops! We bundle up wih blankets, wooley socks, ugly sweatshirts (Im so not a sweat shirt person) and ourgas and light bill still runs around 420 bucks!!! Hubby and I have both been working all the extra overtime we can just to pay the stupid gas and light bill! Bring on Summer, Bring on the HEAT!!!

We lost 4 roof shingles 4 nights ago with horrendous winds. Next door neighbors ended up with two pine trees on their roof. One broke off and fell and the other was uprooted. There was a wind gust that literally made the house feel like it was moving off the foundation. But otherwise, we're fine down south.
