    I have been quilting, and watching cars slide off the highway here in N. TX. for three days. Ours started Monday night, with high winds, and ice pellets, then turned into snow. Down about 6 degrees, and windy, and ice crust on top of the snow. More snow coming tonight and tomorrow. Nothing like you got, but we don't have the equipment for it, either, so until it melts, which may be Saturday, we are just basically deadlocked. High of 16 today, so nothing melted, and the sand blew off the roads. Businesses and schools closed, and even State Troopers sliding into ditches when they go to assist with wrecks.

    Sure hope that woodchuck in PA wasn't pulling our leg! :?

    Wow, that is sure a lot of snow. And I was complaining about our 6 inches. I didn't know how good we have it.

    Wow...that is a lot of snow. Love how your african violets are growing well in spite of the weather.

    Well looking at your pic really cooled me down, it is sweltering here in Perth, Western Australia.
