We sure can’t complain seeing what’s happening in Kansas and Missouri.  My brother lives in DC and they’re expecting as much as a foot of snow.  But the areas with the ice are hurting.  Lots of power outages and snow on top of ice.  We had our share of that back in December of 2013 . . . .no power for Christmas Day.  I can’t believe it was that long ago.  I haven’t heard much yet about the storm which is coming the end of this week.  I’m not sure yet who it will  affect.
