The sun is shining and perky today like Texannie said. I've missed seeing it, and it's only going to be here for one day.

Well, we got about 3 inches yesterday... kinda nice to have it finally actually look like winter. Roads are all nice and cleaned up so I don't mind. We went snowshoeing yesterday...didn't really need the snowshoes but it's fun to wear them. Haha.

Snowshoeing might be fun. But, I don't like having to bundle up with so much clothing to keep warm. My blood is so thin, as I get older, because I have been here SOOOOOOOOO LOOOOONG! ehehe I feel like I am an icecube when the temps drop to 60!

It sure is Buffalo NOW! We are getting socked in with high winds and lots of snow. My dentist called to cancel my appt for today. If this keeps up we won't make my doc appt tomorrow either.

Hiya Twinkie! I was going to write in here to see how it was in Buffalo. We've gotten probably only 3" so far, but the winds are blowing on and off. I see on TV that they're closing everything this evening in Buffalo already. Go get your bread, eggs, and milk! Oh, and if you don't mind...I need some root beer, k? Stay warm!

Bless our weather guy last night when he said that Portland has now officially passed the time for the average coldest part of winter. We're on our way, baby!

Does that mean I can come home, OG? Because I sure am freezing down here in Texas. Right now it is 12 degrees warmer up there than it is here. Raining both places.

LOL, I'm blaming Twinkie from now on! Last week when we were freezing and worrying about snow, she had nice weather. Now she's got snow, and we're sitting at 55 with beautiful blue skies and not even a hint of a breeze.

Oh no when you're not around you get volunteered around here, lol. "Oh, pipes are frozen and bils not home? I'll send Darren home when he gets off work, he won't mind." "Aunt needs someone to take her to the dr? Sis will do it!"

Its 6° in Buffalo today. Hey, Chilli, I've always heard that Fairbanks in the fall is the best time and place to see Aurora Borealis. True? I want to see that so bad!

You can't really see the Aurora Borealis in town very well for various reasons but if you drive up top of the hills they are supposed to be splendid. I've also been told that the colder it is the more colorful and active they are. I've talked with truck drivers coming down from Prudhoe Bay who say how amazing they are out on the open road. Since it's daylight most of the time in the summer you can't see anything. Maybe that's why they say they're better in the fall. I'm embarrassed to say I've never driven out of town to look at them.

Thanks, Chilli! I swear that before I die I'm going to see the Aurora Borealis. Its been one of my goals all my life. Its so amazing looking on TV that I can't even imagine what its like in person.

There are some videos online. My son won second place in a NASA competition writing a poem about them but I can't find it. It was on my old hard drive when it crashed. It used to be online but the site is gone.
