tell, me the cold is brutal~ i am so thankful i wrk at home & only have to go out to check the mail & take out the trash~ my husband has to go out & drive to wrk in it tho~ & when my tire was flat it took 4 days for it to be repaired, the service station is so backed up~

i can't remember if i said earlier, that on christmas eve we got a horrible storm bringing in 14 inches or better, the winds were 50-60 miles per hour~ i rolled over about 2 am & noticed that the power must have flickered at one point & the clocks were blinking~ i got up & was watching the storm, it was like something out of a horror movie, when i saw 2 massive exsplosions outside my door~ the power lines had dropped~ we didn't have power or heat for about 2 hours~ thankfully it came back on & people including my brothers dug out to go on w/ their christmas holiday~ it was amazing watching on the news all the people helping each other dig out & get their cars out so people could get together~ people around here were truly in the christmas spirit~

the downside is my husband got frostbite on his pinky finger~ he shoveled in shifts & was bundled, but the weather was just too brutal, his finger turned black & swelled up 3 times it's size~ thankfully it is healing~ i was super freaked out about it~ all i could think of was this story my dad told me of a classmate of his, who was too cool to wear a hat over his fonzie hair & his ears were frostbitten so bad, they turned black & fell off~ he took to wearing hats after that, not to stay warm, but to hide that he had no ears~ i cross my heart, that's a true story~
