WINTR WEATHER MISS

 Winter weather surrounded us, but we were free of ice or snow. We were so prepared! We may have ice tomorrow because our temperatures are dropping to 26 tonight. Streets will probably be pretty bad. Schools are closed tomorrow. I feel sorry for the people who have lost their power. That was the main thing I was worried about. Being on a well, we have no water without power. 

We have a nice fire going and had pizza for dinner. I have the makings for Chex Mix, which we'll make tomorsrow. Must say we're doing darn good. 


Hope you are all doing good, too. Looks like a lot of snow fell in some areas. Hopefully you can dig out! 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Take care and keep warm!

  14. We had lots of snow here, but at least its light and fluffy. And your fire looks lovely. There's nothing better than the warmth and the crackle as the woods burns. Stay warm.

  18. *I may have sent a comment through half done, sorry!

    The fire looks so nice and toasty. Chex Mix, yummm. I'm hoping the storm lets up for everyone quickly. Glad to hear you are staying warm.

  19. We're doing well in spite of our snow, I guess because of things like snow tires, good insulation, and a generator!
