My car looks like a giant snowball this morning.  It is still snowing heavily and we are to get several more inches before the below zero temps start moving in this afternoon.  I am in the hibernating mode with sweats and sweatshirt on this morning.  This is a no makeup day so I look rather like the wicked witch of the west.  I am doing nothing but waiting out the storm and praying that my furnace and power stay on.

Stay warm.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Beth

    blessings and happy new year.
    We've been dealing with ice storms, -18, -23, -25 Celsius temperatures here. It has not been easy. Friday morning was so cold i was chilled to the bone within minutes of being outside. It was a beast to maneuver with public transit, God was merciful and for once all buses, trains and streetcars on my route was on time.

    Stay warm, stay safe, stay hearty.
    peace.

    In the middle of a snowstorm, it made me smile to see your countdown to spring! We've had nearly 8 inches and it's just pelting it down like a picture on a postcard. Stay warm!

    Oh my goodness, that is dreadful, you keep warm as I am sure you will.
    We have my husband's Auntie staying with us from the tropics of Australia where the temperature has been 44degC = 111.2F...a great difference to your temperature.

    It has been awhile Beth. Just passing through and delighted to see the Spring countdown is on. :)
    It is nasty weather here also. We had an ice storm just before Christmas and everywhere here is ice. It is bitter cold with the windchill is seems like -30 celscious . Not sure what that is in F but I know it is darn cold.
    Stay warm, and enjoy a good book, or whatever you please.
    Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year Beth.
    Take care. xx's Dianne:)
