So here we are, getting ready for another blizzard. You too can go to weather.com type in my zip code 57719 and get that red flashing on your monitor. It's not that I hate winter, it's that I hate the harsh wind and the blizzard warnings. This will be my 6th winter here and let me tell you this year has been one heck of a roller coaster ride with the weather. I'm so glad that I bought that North Face parka when I did, LOL! We're expecting temperatures with the wind chill to be as low as -20-eeek!
Oh here's something else...our son will be downtown tonight for the annual JROTX ball with several other military cadets from neighboring schools. I'm glad that it's being held in a hotel. We're having our son pack a change of clothes his winter boots and a heavy winter jacket, gloves and a hat! We'll put extra money on his debit card so he can get a hotel room if need be. There's no way we're having out boy driving home in those kind of wintry conditions.
Here's the information that I pulled up from weather.com

we're getting that storm here too....we're just far enough north to catch the top of it i think. :) happy storm days to you!
oh, and thanks for the comment on my blog sandie.
...it's nice to know that we're not going thorugh this yucky storm alone.
I think that a lot of people need to take a peek at your blog- you have something that a lot of people don't have- a working honest relationship with your husband. I have a similar relationship with my husband and some of my freinds think that's its a fairyatle romance. You and I are both in it for the long haul and know that a good marriage is a work in progress. I hope that by sharing your blog with others that they can see that it a lot of hard work and everything does come out in the wash.
Don't take this wrong but its cooled off here in phoenix too! We are finally down to normal temps for this time of the year, 40's overnight and 60's during the day. We do have chances of rain all next week. Nothing like the storm you are getting but that's winter in the desert. I hope you stay nice and toasty warm, safe in your house!
