Oh, quiltingfan, I hope the procedure went well! Maybe you can enjoy the snow later??
I live in north Texas. I moved here to get away from snow. Last Christmas we had a real blizzard, and all the people who laughed at me when I told them I hate snow now understand what I meant. We were literally snowed in for four days. (I live in the country. You can't drive on roads that have 12 inches of snow, at least none of my cars could manage it and I was smart enough not to try. Many of my fellow Texans spent the night in a ditch.)
