Sitting here in NE Iowa listening to the wind howl and just looked out the window and it's snowing and blowing so hard! So much is already closed for the day tomorrow. We have a quarter mile lane to get to the blacktop. It's going to be shoulder high drifts tomorrow!! Looking forward to being snowed in!

I had moved to Illinois in October of that year....from HAWAII!
That was a memorable experience! :shock: :shock:

We are really getting blasted here in Revere, Mo. There is a drift on this side of our car about up to my waist. I am 5'2". Some would say that is a small drift but it's big enough for me. There also is a drift on the front deck that about 1/3 of the way up the door. Can't open door. My poor babies. I let them out the back but they don't know what to do out there. I put s bunch of papers down on the floor, that's the way I housebroke them, in hopes that they will use them. I'm already ready for this one to be over.LOL

As mentioned yesterday - in our neck of the woods, just cleaning up after the floods, more floods in Southern Oz and now we are preparing for cyclone category 5. Heaps have evacuated to Brisbane. Don't know which is worse - snow and ice or wind and rain...just hope everyone remains safe.

I'm in Owasso, OK (tulsa area). We got 20" of snow last night and today. Snow drifts are 5-6'. Everything is closed - which is good. Great time to do some quilting. Temp today was 10 with
-8 windchill. I know that's not bad for some of you but for us, it's COLD!!!! this is the record snowfall in the history of Tulsa.
