Oh Kate, bummer about your lousy weather. Ours is turning out to be much more severe than originally predicted too. The last 7 mornings when I got up we had actually temps of at least 20 below zero. Today is the first day the highs are supposed to be over 10 degrees, but I'm not so sure we'll make it.
We even had a first in our area - an Ice Quake. Apparently that happens when the ground freezes much deeper down than is normal. It causes the water way down there to freeze which causes "ground failure" and the ground moves. They're much like earthquakes, but we don't get those around here. Like I said, guess we'll see how tough they are.
