Praying that you are all safe. Please check in with us. We are supposed to start a trend to a bit warmer starting today. It is -22° this morning. I am ready for some warm. 🙂

Marci, I don’t doubt that a bit. I stopped and paid the light bill before I went to work yesterday and it was –28 on the bank here in town. Lots of vehicles that wouldn’t start. There was one big truck stranded along the highway.

On Sunday when I was with DH it was as bad as he’s ever seen it. He’s been driving truck both over the road and locally for over 40 years and he said it’s never been that bad. I debated long and hard if I would go with him and something (I know it was the Holy Spirit) told me to go. It’s a good thing that I listened because for a few miles I was his eyes. The whiteout didn’t allow him to see beyond the front left corner of the truck. We were on a 4 lane highway and couldn’t stop for fear of getting hit. I could see the white line along the right side to know where we were in the lane. There was twice that he thought we were moving and we weren’t because it was solid ice underneath us. I didn’t look in the mirror but he said once the trailor was jack-knifed almost sideways from the wind. It was empty so there was nothing to hold it down. Situations like that you deal with and then really see the hand of God later when it’s over. So thankful we were kept safe.

It’s only –1 this morning and supposed to get up to 20 today with lots of sunshine! Exciting. Then some more snow tomorrow. The weird thing over the weekend with the huge drifts is that the entire upper midwest only got 2-5 inches but it just kept blowing and blowing.

Thinking of those today who are in the ice storm in the south in areas where they don’t have the equipment, clothes, etc. to deal with situations like this. Stay safe, especially Clara and Carolyn.
