It's a glorious day. I'm sitting on the couch, in the livingroom, with a cup of tea. It is very windy out, very cold and very gray. We are expecting a blizzard. It has already started in parts of Kansas and Oklahoma. I look out the window at the lake and watch as the wind blows the water, first into ripples, then into small waves. There are no geese out there today. I don't know how much snow there will be but I see on the TV that they have been closing things down, in parts of the area since last evening. I love snow. It doesn't bother me. I don't like ice.We had an ice storm in Lawton a few years ago and we had no work for the week. Took longer than that for it all to melt.
I remember once when I stayed with my brother; a friend that I was dating came to see me and something happened with his car so my brother offered to take him home. It was snowy and ice under that. Very cold. My brother warned my friend to be careful as the stairs were still very slippery. He said he would then they got ready to leave. My brother and I were talking and they started down the steps. All of a sudden, my friends feet went up and he went down. In a sitting position he hit every single step. THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! The sound was magnified because the house is in the country and it was late. I caught my breath, prayed he didn't hurt his spine or anything else and did what all good friends do. I started laughing. As I am now and every time I think about it. I know it sounds terrible and I still feel bad but you had to be there. Now I pray that it doesn't happen to me.
So, leave the ice but bring on the snow! Give it your best shot!

Ooooh, what kind of tea? Chai spice tea?? Mmmmmmm. Is your crackling fire in the fireplace ready? Send the children for some logs! I hope you get your snow. We're needing ice to kill the ticks. Love you!
I was hoping you would keep the winter weather there but after having 60s today here the forecast is for rain/snow showers over the next few days. Ah, March is not dependable and Mother Nature can be fickle.
