So how is the Cajun in you faring the cold? We were freezing over here for 10 days and we didn't have all that beautiful snow.

Oops! Should've read all the way through before I asked my question.

We are still alive. We were in Raleigh for 6 days and didn't miss the single digit lows at all. Raleigh was actually balmy 40's and 50's compared to up here. We got to experience 2 more weeks of frigid temps and at least 2 more snow events of 2 inches plus. My birdbath had fallen over with the weight of the snow and the ground is still too frozen to stand it upright and level it. The snow is gradually melting but there is still ice in the creek and the river. Rain is suppose to move in tonight so it will be interesting to see how much more melting takes place.

Cool! We are located in the other direction--north of town and Micaville is south of town.

Can't help myself, have to post some winter pictures of our valley from our deck. Can't remember if these are this years pictures or last yeards but suffice to say, a blanket of snow on everything is pretty no matter what year the picture is taken. Then there are close to the same pictures taken in spring with all the cherry trees in bloom and in fall when things are getting dry and yellow and orange. All these pictures were taken from our back deck. Our view are spectacular. Mt. Hood isn't seen here but it looms majestically off to the left of each of these pictures.

Hey Penny,
Dry? Did you say dry? We've had nothing but rain here. First it was freeze, freeze, freeze; now it's wet, wet, wet, again. That's one thing about South Louisiana -- if you wait a few hours, the weather is sure to change. And after the rain it will be warm, warm, warm.
