SNOW

We moved away from the Midwest to escape the snow and ice. Ha! The weathermen here get absolutely frantic and relay such panic if an inch or two of the fluffy stuff is on the way. This morning there was a slight dusting, which was even pretty- especially if you don't need to be anywhere. Last year the snowfall beat all records and was absolutely ridiculous. I never had a day off from work due to the snow. I guess one needs to move even further south to get away from it completely. Don't be so cavalier about leaving your lumberjack hats and full length down coats behind... it FEELS just as cold here. It just doesn't last as long. And they call Chicago the windy city? It's ALWAYS windy here. And it is a trick to land at the airport without feeling it.


A light dusting of snow on the patio - very picturesque!



This record breaker from last year, netted a week off from work!
