Snow total for me was a measely 4 inches.. not enough to even create 1" of rain. Right now, it's 3 degs w/a windchill of -9 and it's supposed to get colder with a low of 0 to -4 and a windchill tonight somewhere between -10 and -25. When it's that cold, you really can't feel a difference. Between 0 & -10 you can tell. Between -10 and -20 there's not much of a difference. Had to take out some garbage here a few minutes ago (had to take care of kitty litters & birdies... nightly duty) and just went out in my long-sleeved shirt, slacks, and booties w/no socks. My neighbor, who doesn't smoke in the house, was outside puffing away freezing his butt off and he looked at me like I was totally insane. Personally, *he's* the one who's nuttier than a fruitcake for smoking! (I konw that's gonna tick off Zuzu.. sorry, grew up in a house full of smoke and I'm probably the one who's going to die from lung cancer and not my parents or my sister, who all smoke & I do not. Big hugs, though.. still love ya!!) Did have to don on a coat to brush the snow off the driveway for the morning.. yes, brush. Not shovel, but brush. It's powdery stuff that gets caught in your throat & makes you choke. I don't like powder, but it's good for the skiers and that helps with our economy here in CO.
Chelle - I have never been in an earthquake. I'd probably die from a heart attack if I was ever in one. How terrifying!!! At least with tornados & hail, you can get the heck outta the way. What are you supposed to do in an earthquake?? Yikes!!
