I like this! My tears actually froze on my face on Wednesday. Brutal!

Thank you, Kathleen. Oh, it's been brutally cold! Felt it on my fingers and toes, especially.

I have to agree with you, Edward. It snowed here in New Orleans three days ago... 12 inches in some places. Bizarre weather everywhere.

12 inches? In New Orleans?? Oh my word. Stay warm and safe, Lin.
