Have you been deluged with snow? What other weather is going on?

Thanks to each of you for reporting in. I am hopping that others will do so as well. I am always concerned for others when the weather gets rough. I am a former Wisconsinite, so I know what plenty of snow is all about. When we moved to Oklahoma City, I found out what "ice storms" are all about, because it seems we have more of that type of stuff than snow here. But we do have snow too ocassionally. I remember one year when I was so homesick to go home for Christmas, and a white Christmas at that. We had no snow here at all. So, I flew home for the holidays, and when I landed in Madison, there was NO SNOW on the ground there either. LOL I was so disappointed. That year we had a "green" Christmas. LOL - - But it did snow a few days after Christmas, and I loved it - - - oh, and I almost forgot - - that twas the year that Oklahoma City had a BLIZZARD of all things! It was so bad that many folks had to stay home. The snow had started Dec. 24th and snowed all day. It was a MESS. So I felt like nature was playing a practical joke on me. LOL Then too, some of you may remeber about 2 years ago, when we had an ice storm here that was the worst we've ever had. We were without power for 9 days, but we stayed in our home. I was so glad that my husband had more insulation blown into the walls many years ago, and did some other things to help keep the house warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer. Our gas stove worked if we lit the top burners, and we did and kept them on low, and I'm a candle nut, so we had plenty of candles all over the house. We weren't cold at all. But after the first night or two, I didn't even try to make a supper for us. Some of the resturants made it through without losing power, and we ate supper at night at a resturant. Let me tell you that after 9 days and nights without lights, heat and phones, I've come to appreciate the basics in life a lot more! Thank God for our cell phones. We recharged them using our car charger. Hope to hear from more folks and hope all will be ok.

I forgot to add something. Now don't throw snowballs at me LOL - but the temperatures here for tuesday through friday is supposed to be in the 70s and maybe we might hit 80. But the weather patterns are so changeable - who knows what'll come 2-3 weeks down the road? We still get snow and ice into mid-March sometimes. OK - I'm done. Who's next?
