** Picture of the Day 3 **

[klmall]

Exactly! I'm loving having "my family" visible in the kitchen every day! Are y'all expecting any snow this week from the newest winter storm? Allie could get a little snow/ice mixture with a temperature drop from here, over the weekend of 75, to her college home low of 12 mid-week! She's hoping for online classes a couple of days and is stocking up on "warming food" after she finishes classes today! Whatever happens hope it's not as bad as it was in the East this past weekend! ❄☃❄

Yes, we're looking at possibly 6 in. or more starting Tuesday afternoon which would make it the biggest snow so far plus cold (low teens) and wind. Even so, it will probably melt by Friday

Glad that Allie sounds more prepared than last winter!

You're having the same temperature swings we are! Our high Wednesday will be around 73 then a low of 37; Thursday only a high of 40 and low of 25! Allie will go from 49 to 18 Wednesday with 88% chance of ice/snow; then Thursday 26-12! The temperature differences are crazy; think that's why so many of us are sick! Katie's home now with possible strep throat! But Allie's doctor visit this morning was ALL ! She was given the okay to resume soccer drills, run....everything but "contact drills". Now she's facing a few days of dealing with ice and the only way to get to her car is across the back deck and down steps! She's more than a little worried about a "slip and fall" and starting over again. REALLY hoping for online classes! Enjoy YOUR snow!

Another Christmas surprise for us from Sara & Treavor! The autographed jersey of one of our favorite "original" Dallas Cowboys! I'd have to say we had a GOOD Christmas!

What today looks like with another couple inches due before it ends tonight.

☃ PRETTY! Looks like a nice accumulation for once! All we're getting is ICE! Campus shut down until Monday so Allie and Emily are "hibernating" with freezing rain falling outside since about 3 this afternoon. We had a stormy sky with rain; temperature dropped from 65 this afternoon to 39 now with more rain/ice tomorrow and freezing temperatures until Friday about noon. Don't think I'll be going to the soccer game Friday night!

Oh, ice is so much worse and your temps do sound so much like ours! We already have sun and things are melting. We ended up with about 8 inches but just 10 miles south of us got 22 inches!

Dang! What a difference a few miles make! Sun must have been a welcome sight for you! Allie did end up with a little snow on top of the ice and power stayed on so all is good. They're still housebound at least through tomorrow; temps will barely get above freezing so nothing will be melting but that's okay...they're enjoying it! We've been at 30 all day and got a little ice but still able to walk outside. Low tonight should be in low 20's. We rarely get ice or snow but sure favor the snow over the ice! It's "bone chilling"; even had to push Boo out the back door today to do her business!

They're young...they can play in the snow without FREEZING! ☃ ❄

Nothing like closing down MK at night. (Can anyone tell me how to fix the rotating photo? It shows up fine on my phone… does this board not like portrait orientation?)

My phone photos do the same thing! Haven't been able to figure out how to fix them either!
