So weird.. zone 9 with snow and here we haven't even had any flurries, which is fine with me! It's been cold but that's it. I think Mom Nature is being kind to us after the lousy ice storm last winter :) We were 12 days without power ..thank goodness we had a small generator!
That is why I moved away from SE Iowa 10 years ago ..to get away from storms like that! LOL!!!

Here's a picture from the ice storm last year. It's looking out into the street from our back pasture..that tree is our neighbors, who made sure that they stayed away until we had it cleared so that the utility company would come rerun our electric. They never came over to help or to apologize or to say "kiss my butt!" Nice,huh? :) To add insult to injury, they had their electric back on in 3 days compared to our 12! But they didn't come home until about a week after the storm, when we had most of it cleaned up.

oh well.. what goes around comes around :) LOL
