I've been dreaming of moving to Arizona because it's supposed to be warm year-round. You all have just dashed my hopes.I guess I might as well stay here in the windy city.

It's way cold in San Jose too, and a friend in San Diego said they had snow yesterday.
Make it stop. Please.

It's just cold enough for the rain to turn to ice at my house. That tree fell from the neighbor's yard, and the tree next to it fell the opposite way and crushed her carport with her car inside. That's the second story deck that leads from my son's bedroom. Thankfully, the house itself is okay, but the house is surrounded by trees, and they're all covered in ice.
I've taken my visiting baby grandson and my son and fled to my dad's house, while dh is staying to keep an eye on things. Tonight is supposed to be worse--more rain and colder. Hope he doesn't get crushed by a tree. eeek.

Oh Tucker!!!
And I'm whining?! SHEESH!! You have it WAY worse!! Please be safe! And check in every once in awhile so we don't worry about you and yours.
WOW!! I couldn't imagine what t would be like to be in an ice storm. Being from nor cal- and now AZ- it seesm so foreign to me.
I feel like a fool now for complaining about my chilly ride. OY!
And chick- yes indeed, hell HAS frozen over!!!
Anyway, all of y'all in the path of that ice storm- BE SAFE!!!! I'll be praying for y'all tonight.
Stay safe, and stay warm!

It seems like we're in a permanant state of tree dodging here in the northwest--and now there is lingering ice on the roads. Winters here have become like the ones we escaped from in Indiana. It Sucks!! My son, who is a cycling commuter out of conscience and out of necessity just slipped on the ice yesterday and bent his derailer pretty badly. $240 to fix it!(including a long overdue tune-up) Yikes! Yeah, Indiana needs to take its weather back too.
