Sunshine -not snow...

I was one of the lucky people who woke up to sunshine this morning and without snow.  I've heard several different reports from family in Missouri whose top number was 20 inches of snow which fell yesterday.  The most interesting report was snow clear up to my butt and she has some long some legs.   I would probably have snow up to my chin if I was there.  Here we had freezing temperatures in low 30's with about 45 mph winds and up.  Tonight we are to have temperatures as low as 28 degrees and if it gets that low at the airport in Phoenix it will be the coldest temperatures in 20 years.  Wheres that global warming when we need it?  I'm going to check out facebook to see some of those pictures of the snow.  I had the most text messages ever on my phone this morning and they were still coming.  All about the blizzard. I told them all I was going to walk under the highway to McDonalds for a cup of coffee. Just so you all know, I carried a bag of trash out to trash cans probably no more than 500ft.  and the wind was cold so I was out of breath when I got to my mobile home.  I changed my mind about walking to McDonalds.  I can't breathe too well when I breathe the cold air. So, I stayed in and made a cup of hot green tea.  Pipes may freeze tonight.  I will leave my water dribble.
