Thanks Lin. Sunrises on the beach would be a real treat right now but I'm glad you also got to experience some snow.
I agree Tee, there's always something. We get tornadoes here too.
Mary, I'm sure that snow did shut everything down for a week! Bet that was a real shock when you got up in the morning.
A house being well insulated is good in any climate, but even better that someone else did it for you!
