Not even a flurry? Sounds like a very fickle storm. When I asked her if she still had snow, she said she didn't want to talk about it. LOL! I'm glad you didn't have any bad weather, and doubly glad you weren't involved in the accident.

[uncleshag]

Thank you. Lady Jag.

you and lots of others around.
