I am happy you didn't get the ice storm. I know that it was a great moment to enjoy being with your daughter. Yes, weather is really weird this year. They are always predicting snow here and it never comes. It's been warmer than normal. We have had a couple of snow storms but then it warms up and rains it away. But as you said the winter isn't over yet. Stay safe and warm sweet friend!

I ventured out the second day and on one of the side roads ended up going down it sideways (even though I was only doing about 10 mph when I got on the street. Pulled the car into low gear just in case I should hit something---which---amazingly I did not. Let's just say when I got home I STAYED home. lol<br />Glad you didn't get any this time. xo dianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215549670320492394.post-60018833450672641282017-01-18T18:27:49.634-06:002017-01-18T18:27:49.634-06:00We had the ice here in St. Louis county.

It was cloudy, foggy, wet, icy, overcast for so many days I lost count; but lo and behold there was sunshine today. Even though it was mildly chilly, that sunshine on my face made my day today.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215549670320492394.post-33103662286786050912017-01-18T16:26:49.788-06:002017-01-18T16:26:49.788-06:00Glad you were spared the ice.
