Anyways, this made me laugh, like most of your blog posts :-) As you know, us midwesterners need to stick together and laugh as much as we can about the weather Momma N throws at us. She doesn't scare me much except for that day back in February when she taunted me as I fell (twice) on the hidden ice (under the thick blanket of pretty snow). Yes, a few (???) bruised ribs kept me inside for a few days, but not for long.
