    I took some pics of our front yard so that I could share our weather with you. It has been raining off and on since early Sunday morning.

    I know it is cold and I feel bad for you, but I think it looks really neat!

    beautiful. During your ice storm in December our Kidos were in IA, and involved in a serious car accident near St Joesph's, they had wonderful treatment at the hospital. Great Iowans!

    Those are beautiful! I would love to be there snuggled in a warm quilt by a cozy fire. They actually make me miss my childhood home in Ohio.

    YUCK! I hate ice storms. Beautiful to look at, yes, but sheer white knuckle terror if you have to be outside in that. Doesn't matter if you are on foot or in a car it is equally trecherous both ways and does so much damage to trees and power lines. I sure hope that isn't coming our way.
